"Selota is a wonderfully gifted artist and we believe his style, combined with the smooth jazz sounds of Kenny G, will give concert-goers a unique entertainment experience," said local promoter Phala Letsoalo of Canoc Productions. "To host one of Africa's finest musicians on the same bill as the world famous Kenny G is a coup for jazz lovers and we encourage fans of both artists to book now to avoid disappointment."
With a career in music spanning over 20 years, the multi-talented producer and composer Salaelo Selota has recorded and produced six award-winning albums.
Selota has an association with Kenny G through the title track of Judith Sephuma's debut album - 'A Cry, A Smile, A Dance', which Selota composed and arranged. Sephuma has received international acclaim after this track on the album of the same name was featured in Kenny G's album - 'At Last... The Duets', which is a mix of instrumental Jazz and romantic ballads sung by well-known divas with a few pop songs sprinkled in-between.
During his career, Selota has shared the stage with international stars like Jonathan Butler, Bob James, Kirk Whalum, Richard Bona, Deborah Cox and Ronny Jordan and, local stars including Oliver Mtukudzi, Lokua Kanza, Diblo Dibala and Judith Sephuma.
As a producer and composer, Selota has composed and arranged both of Judith Sephuma's two award-winning and best-selling albums - 'A Cry, A Smile, A Dance' (which burst the triple Platinum sales status of more than 160,000 units) and 'Change is Here'.
