Blessed Katiyo in JOHANNESBURG

DENDERA music lovers in South Africa will this weekend have an opportunity to dance to the legendary sounds of Sulumani Chimbetu.

The affable crooner will be delivering the first tour to promote his new album ‘Tsapo’ in Jozi.

Known for his soulful voice, and electrifying performances, Sulu will hit the stage with his full live band, bringing the vibrant rhythms and heartfelt melodies of Dendera straight to Johannesburg and Pretoria.

It all starts in Johannesburg tomorrow night at the Newtown Music Factory (Bassline).

Sulu will be joined by urban grooves star Nox, whose powerful vocals and dynamic presence promise to take the fans on an unforgettable journey.

Fans can expect a brilliant fusion of traditional beats and contemporary flair, with special surprise guests adding even more magic to the line-up.
