Thandiswa Mazwai's letter to Azania set for Saturday

Thandiswa Mazwai brings her show, 'A Letter to Azania', to Cape Town for the first time next week. 

The production, which sold out in Johannesburg last year, offers a multi-genre journey through the legendary South African singer's decades-long career in the form of a letter from the artist to Azania. 


It explores its utopian ideal, while "expressing the melancholy that comes with a dream deferred". 

Mazwai says fans can expect "a range of sounds that have influenced my recordings and performances over the years: jazz, kwaito, Afro-funk, reggae, gospel and traditional music".

'A Letter to Azania' is at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town on February 25 at 8pm. Tickets from computicket.com
