The Soil to rock Kirstenbosch
WHEN talking about The Soil at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens you can be forgiven for thinking the conversation is about gardening – but in this instance, it is about rich Kasi-soul music being performed at the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts.
The concerts have become a much-anticipated annual event for Capetonians, who flock in their droves to soak up world-class live music in an awe-inspiring open-air setting.
February 3 promises a treat for concertgoers with The Soil performing.
The Soil is a South African a cappella three-member group whose music is defined as Kasi-soul and features an eclectic mix of musical genres such as jazz, hip-hop, Afro-pop and Afro-soul – all accompanied with beatboxing – a distinct feature in the group’s musical style.
Each member takes turns in solo vocal performances, with their songs delivering an uplifting, positive and happy message to listeners.
The Soil have recently completed a highly successful east African tour and will be performing their latest single titled Korobela (The Love Spell) for the first time in Cape Town – a fitting start to the month of love.
In addition to well-known songs such as Susan, Thambo Lam and Joy, the audience can look forward to a sneak preview of other new releases from The Soil’s upcoming album.
This will be the band’s fourth performance at Kirstenbosch which also marks the beginning of their Korobela Tour in celebration of love.
“We love the Cape Town audience and the relaxing vibe and atmosphere at the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens,” said Buhlebendalo Mda, Luphindo Ngxanga and Ntsika Fana Ngxanga.
Don’t miss the opportunity to watch one of South Africa’s rising Kasi-soul bands perform at Cape Town’s iconic gardens.
Tickets for this concert will cost R150 for youth (6-21 years with ID), R190 for adults and children under 6 enter free.
