The concert takes place on Sunday the 27th of October, from 3 pm to 5:30 pm, in the main theatre at Guga S’Thebe Cultural Centre, located at King Langalibalele Avenue (previously Washington Avenue), in Langa, Cape Town.

The first half of the concert is curated by the Cape Cultural Collective, and includes performances from traditional drummers, CCC poets- Vusumuzi Mpofu and Chris Ferndale; local Langa songbird Thami Baba, and the much-loved Rosa Choir.
The Rosa Choir Project: A Diverse Musical Journey Breaking Barriers and Bridging Communities. With a repertoire encompassing traditional songs in Afrikaans, Xhosa, and English – and a mix of all three, this choir transcends societal divisions based on class, color, religion, language, and geography. The choir is comprised of members from diverse personal and professional backgrounds, including gospel singers, youth activists, casual workers, educators, veteran Malay choir performers, international visitors, and others. The Rosa Choir Project is an inspiring example of unity in diversity.
The second half, curated by Jazz in the Native Yards will see an explosive performance from the band Khataza.
Operation Khataza is an immersive experience crafted by the visionary singer/songwriter, guitarist, and selector, Sanele Blaai. Farrah Khataza is brought to life through Sanele’s artistry and leads the band with a mystical presence. The music transcends boundaries, offering a soul-stirring journey through genres such as Zamrock, South African jazz, kwaito, soukous, highlife, Chimurenga, R&B, blues, and rock & roll.
