Selaelo Selota to support Kenny G
It has been announced that African jazz artist and musician Selaelo Selota will be the supporting artist for Kenny G when he plays at the Coca-Cola Dome, Joburg, on 20 November, 2014.
"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."

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.
