“My music is – and always will be – rooted in home soil, and I couldn’t be more excited about staging my first live concert season in Cape Town.” said Lebo M

 

 

While sharing his excitement for the upcoming show, Lebo M added that the music from The Lion King not only touched hearts and minds around the world, it continues to provide an inspirational platform to uplift local talent and inspire the next generation of creators.

 

“I am thrilled that we have been partners, brothers, and friends since childhood. We began our journey creating films about Africa at a time when few were willing to do,” said Hans Zimmer.

 

Don’t miss this historic event! Witness two of the world’s most renowned musicians perform together on African soil in a night of pure musical magic.
