Grammy Award-winning South African entertainment icon Lebo M is set to take the stage in Cape Town for a special one-night-only live concert featuring special guest Hans Zimmer.

 

The renowned composer, singer, songwriter, and music producer announced his first-ever live performance, showcasing a global ensemble that also includes MiCasa, The Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, The Soweto Spiritual Singers, and the Ndlovu Youth Choir. Singer-songwriters Nkosinathi Shabalala and Refi Sings will also take the stage.

 

Due to overwhelming demand, the show was moved from Artscape to the Grand Arena at Grand West on 18 April 2025. This move allowed for a bigger stage, enhanced production, and an even more immersive audience experience.

 

This concert marks the culmination of nearly 40 years of Lebo M’s illustrious career, which began with the iconic film “The Power of One.”

 

His groundbreaking work on Disney’s “The Lion King” redefined the boundaries of music and film, earning him numerous accolades and global recognition.
