Old Mutual Music in the Gardens concert is set to host the Mi Casa band at Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens on 28 Sunday 28 July. Coming off another highly successful year which included even more industry awards including a SAMA; Mi Casa has showed no intention of slowing down. In staying true to Old Mutual’s pledge to bring South Africa’s talented musicians to entertain music fans, Mi Casa will be accompanied by Sisco Umlambo as the opening act. Regarded as the Capital city’s ‘Son of House Music’, this Pretoria born talent has worked tirelessly with some of the biggest urban house industry names for the past 15 years.
Sisco Umalbo has played an important role in uplifting the house scene in Pretoria with his continued dedication, being involved in the ‘Capitol House Kollective Series’, which was one of the first featuring only proudly South African productions. Commented Bandile Mngoma, Old Mutual Sponsorship Manager,”Mi Casa and Sisco Umlambo are two enourmously talented musical acts that we just had to bring to music fans at this fantastic bio-diverse and culturally significant location. The Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens not only offer a wonderfully scenic venue for the Old Mutual Music in the Gardens concert series, but also offer important information to visitors and music fans on the importance of safeguarding our natural biodiversity”.
The Old Mutual Music in the Gardens offers lovers of music and the outdoors a fresh new live concert every month and Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens are the only place in South Africa where the beauty of South Africa music can be enjoyed amongst the succulent rockery gardens, cycad gardens, water gardens, fern trails, arboretum, Geological Garden, People’s Plant Garden, Birds and Butterfly Garden, Waterwise garden and the informative Children Garden.
