Music enthusiasts will on the 28 September witness the Hugh Masekela Heritage Festival in the heart of Soweto. The Festival will be staged at the Soweto Cricket Oval (also known as the Elkah Cricket Stadium) in Lefatola Street, Rockville with an incredibly diverse line-up of supporting artists handpicked by Hugh Masekela.
This event which aims to become an annual event moving forward, to celebrate Heritage month and to honour the people of Soweto, will feature Thandiswa Mazwai, Phuzekhemisi, Mi Casa, Desmond & The Tutus, Pu2ma, Khaya Mahlangu, Jeremy Loops and of course Bra Hugh himself as the headline act.
“I’m really looking forward to this festival. I always love performing in Soweto and with this wonderful and eclectic array of talent on the line-up, I think it’s going to be a very special day”, says Hugh Masekela, who at 74 years is showing no signs of slowing down. He has also recently released a new album called “Playing At Work” to positive reviews.
