| "He was a voice during the revolution, a voice of hope, sort of like a Woody Guthrie
or Bob Dylan of South Africa, and he still is."—DAVE MATTHEWS |
Vusi Mahlasela’s voice is one of the finest to emerge from Africa. An accomplished
guitarist, percussionist, composer, arranger, band leader and performer, Vusi now
enjoys an ever-growing worldwide following. Among his most ardent supporters is
Dave Matthews, who is a native of South Africa and has long aimed to make Vusi’s
music known in the U.S. Mahlasela sings in six different South African languages,
including English. This concert promises to be unforgettably life-affirming.
Performance: 8:00 pm
