NAKHANE LIVE AT THE LYRIC THEATRE FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY

Nakhane, who has made waves internationally as a singer, songwriter, novelist, and actor, expresses their excitement about returning to South Africa for this exclusive performance. With their latest album, 'Bastard Jargon,' serving as the focal point of the show, Nakhane aims to connect with the audience through the music that was deeply influenced by their South African upbringing. While Nakhane promises to deliver old favorites, the description of the upcoming show hints at a performance that is more than just a musical journey.

Supported by ALTBLK Continua, Nakhane will be joined by two talented local artists Gemma Fassie and MUNEYI.
