Matheba – who has just come off a hugely successful TV special on SABC1, A Very Bonang Year – will lead the show, which is a celebration of Women’s Month with a female-led lineup including the queen of Afro-jazz, Judith Sephuma; Limpopo’s superstar rapper Sho Madjozi; house/dance star Lady Zamar; platinum-selling Afro-pop princess Amanda Black; and Mahikeng ‘groove queen’ Aus Tebza.
Nubian Music Festival founder Mpho Mathope adds: “It is an honour to be able to livestream this celebration of South African women and especially the amazing artists who present our music heritage to the world. We’re also excited that we can bring the Nubian goal of promoting social togetherness and cultural tolerance to an even larger audience in the age of Covid-19.”
Tickets to Nubian Festival Celebrating Women’s Month can be purchased on Computicket online and at Shoprite and Checkers stores across South Africa.
If fans can’t make the livestream itself (from 3pm on August 29), tickets can also be purchased for on-demand streaming of either the entire show or chosen artists for 48 hours after the live show ends.
