Moretele Tribute Concert

Moretele Park Tribute Concert to toast 20 years of Freedom with all-star line-up

Come and celebrate spring and the country's 20 years of Democracy with a star-studded procession of South African music royalty at the annual Tribute Concert, taking place at Moretele Park on Saturday, 30 August 2014, Mamelodi in Pretoria.

The City of Tshwane once again plays Proud Host to this ever-popular concert, now in its 17th year, which is renowned as one of the premier events on the country's music calendar.

The line-up for this year's special-edition Moretele Park Tribute Concert, which pays homage to our Democracy and its musical Heroes and Icons, reads like a who's who of the local music industry. Organisers Drakensberg Promotions have assembled a parade of exceptional artists that will head to Mamelodi for a daylong party pulsing with jazz, pop, traditional and dance music.

Headlining the 2014 event are Afro-pop duo Mafikizolo, the comeback kids who recently collected two MTV Africa Music Awards to add to the eight South African Music Awards they won at this year's ceremony.

Plus, sensational dance maestros Mi Casa will be getting the crowd up on their feet with their essential and uplifting house grooves.

The one and only Johnny Clegg - our very own Le Zulu Blanc, a true living legend who has been fêted as a French Knight of Arts and Letters and who received the Order of Ikhamanga back home - will also be performing on the day.

He will be joined by fellow music veterans Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Letta Mbulu, Jonas Gwangwa, Thomas Chauke and Ringo. The younger generation of dazzling musicians is well represented by Lira, Bhudaza, Musa (last year's Idols winner) and Zonke - all adding up to an unmissable music encounter par excellence.

Emerging jazz artists and groups will also perform on the day, which pays homage to South Africa's music luminaries while showcasing the next generation of bubbling-under talent.

Join the thousands of revelers at Moretele Park Tribute Concert in Mamelodi, at one of the year's most festive parties! The entertainment starts at 11 am, and continues into the night. Tickets cost R300 and are available at Computicket.
