The summer sunset concerts at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens have become excellent events to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon in the Botanical Gardens on the slopes of Cape Town’s Table Mountain.

Multi award-winning singer-songwriter, composer, cultural icon and rock diva Karen Zoid started out as a busker on the street corners of Melville, Johannesburg.

Since then she has gone on to win numerous awards, headline at most of the country’s major music festivals and be voted one of the ‘Top 6 Rising Stars of South Africa’ by the Sunday Times.

She is a prolific songwriter and has written songs for several SA artists as well as a theme for a TV series. She recently released her fourth album ‘Postmodern World’.

 

Selaelo Selota is one of South Africa’s foremost Afro-Jazz musicians. This multi-talented guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer and producer was the winner of the ‘Best Newcomer’ and ‘Best Contemporary Jazz Album’ categories at the 2001 SAMA awards.

His first two albums ‘Painted Faces’ and ‘Enchanted Gardens’ both went gold and his latest offering 'The Azanian Songbook' has been released on his own label.
