Event information
British hitmakers, Soul II Soul touch down in South Africa to thrill audiences with two concerts in Cape Town and Kromdraai Valley, Gauteng.
Soul II Soul is much more than a band. They initially started out as a ‘sound system’ – DJs and audio engineers creating grooves and moods for parties in late-Eighties London – before releasing classic singles 'Keep On Movin’ and the huge hit 'Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)' in 1989.
'Back To Life' was nominated for an American Music Award, a Brit Award and an Ivor Novello Award and won the 1990 Grammy Award for 'Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal'. In their eclectic fusion of reggae, R&B and neo-soul, Soul II Soul offers a unique composition of conscious sound and lyrically inspiring hip hop, all laced with a reggae groove.
DJ, producer and fashion entrepreneur Jazzie B is the only remaining member of the outfit’s first incarnation and was awarded an OBE for Service to Music in 2008. These intimate concerts are and opportunity for both old and new fans to see Soul II Soul bring the house down with a hit of nostalgia and some newer grooves.
