This year\u2019s Intimate Evening Series, a collaboration between Liberty, Griza Enterprises and leading local promoter Showtime Management \u2013 designed to usher in each new year with a symphony of hope \u2013 features Soul II Soul in Johannesburg for a celebration of reggae, R&B and neo-soul at Montecasino\u2019s Outdoor Events Area on 01 February, before taking the show to Kirstenbosch in Cape Town on 08 February.<\/p>\n
The British hitmakers, creators of the classic singles \u201cKeep On Movin\u2019\u201d and the huge hit \u201cBack To Life (However Do You Want Me)\u201d \u2013 Number one in both the US and the UK in 1989 \u2013 will be supported by South African legends TKZee.<\/p>\n
The trio \u2013 Tokollo Tshabalala, Kabelo Mabalane and Zwai Bala, who met at school in the early Nineties \u2013 became the biggest-selling kwaito band in South African musical history when their 1997 and 1998 singles \u201cPalafala\u201d and \u201cShibobo\u201d (respectively) both earned sales more than 100,000 copies, making TKZee a household name across the African continent.<\/p>\n
As their profile exploded, TKZee incorporated several different genres into their music \u2013 kwaito, hip-hop, classical, house and gospel \u2013 crafting what became known as \u201cGuz\u201d music, and instant (and massive) hit with young South African music fans. Their haul of five South African Music Awards in one year for their \u201cHalloween\u201d album (1998) was a record that stood for well over a decade. The group split in 2002 to pursue solo careers by reunited for the 2009 album \u201cComing Home\u201d, going on to be one only six musical acts to represent Africa in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony in Johannesburg. After the sudden passing of Tokollo Tshabalala in 2022, his longtime friends and fellow band members Kabelo Mabalane and Zwai Bala continue with the legacy of TKZee.<\/p>\n
