A Night with Soweto String Quartet

The quartet, which have literally sold millions of albums since the band's professional debut in 1992, will entertain the audience with the old classics as well as some newer works. The Soweto String Quartet's music is a unique blend of traditional rhythms, kwela, township jazz, mbaqanga, pop songs, jazz-fusion and strong classical influences.
Emerging from the dusty streets of Soweto during the Apartheid era, the band's four talented members made up of the three Khamese brothers, violinists Sandile and Thami, cellist, Reuben and bosom friend Makhosini Mnguni, went largely unrecognised for quite some time. However as soon as the political landscape changed they took both the local and international music world by storm, earning the respect and adoration of fans the world over.
The group has graced stages all over the world performing for royalty, politicians and the giants of business. One of their greatest fans is undoubtedly Nelson Mandela whose assistant was quoted saying that Madiba would play their music in his office all the time.
The group has defined itself as a pioneer of greatness. It is a brand that goes beyond monotonous, offering an immaculate blend and selection of sound that tell the great South African stories.
