South African music fans, prepare for a night that promises to be nothing short of historic. On Thursday, 12 December 2024, Msaki will grace the stage at the SunBet Arena with Camagu in Symphony: 10 Years of Gratitude, a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience that brings together some of South Africa’s most beloved and influential musical talents. This concert isn’t merely a performance; it’s a heartfelt journey through a decade of Msaki’s musical evolution, a tribute to the supporters and collaborators who have helped shape her career.
After a hiatus from live performance, Msaki returns with an unmatched lineup of artists, blending genres, influences, and sounds into an orchestral masterpiece. Collaboration has been a big part of the last 10 years–each performer on the roster has been a collaborator of Msaki’s, releasing music together (or have unreleased music), making this lineup both powerful and deeply personal. The concert’s theme, Camagu, a Xhosa term expressing gratitude and acceptance, sets the tone for a night of reflection, celebration, and unity in music.
Music lovers can look forward to extraordinary performances from:
- Sun-El Musician – Known for his soulful electronic beats and transformative impact on South African house music.
- Black Motion – The dynamic duo that has redefined South African electronic dance music with their signature percussive energy.
- TRESOR – An award-winning singer-songwriter whose work transcends borders and genres, embodying the spirit of African excellence.
- Simmy – Renowned for her enchanting vocals and contribution to Afro-soul and dance, adding her distinctive style to the night’s symphonic blend.
- Nduduzo Makhathini – An acclaimed jazz maestro whose musical depth promises to add layers of complexity to the evening’s arrangements.
- Kabza De Small – A pioneer of amapiano whose rhythms and beats have captured audiences globally.
- Mobi Dixon and Focalistic – Bringing an electrifying mix of Afro-house and amapiano to the symphonic stage.
- Musa Keys, Karyenda, and Revolution– Celebrated artists whose contributions have left an indelible mark on the South African music landscape.
- Thesis ZA, Muneyi, Brenda Mtambo, Jesse Clegg, Anatii, Neo Muyanga, and many more – Each artist adding their unique sound and spirit to this unforgettable evening.
This illustrious lineup, curated by Msaki herself, is a tribute to the diversity and creativity of South African music, blending orchestral, acoustic, and electronic sounds in a way that pushes the boundaries of traditional concert formats. Camagu in Symphony will serve as a sonic narrative of Msaki’s career – a journey that began with her debut EP Nalithemba and expanded through acclaimed albums and genre-defying collaborations that have connected with fans worldwide.
“This night is about saying Camagu – thank you. Thank you to those who have supported me, stood by me, and allowed me to grow into the artist I am today,” says Msaki. “This concert is my way of closing a chapter while celebrating the beauty of what we’ve created together. I want everyone to feel this gratitude, to feel like they’re part of something monumental.”
With an ambiance described as tuxes and takkies – a sophisticated yet lively dress code – music fans are invited to experience a unique fusion of elegance and rhythm, symbolising the blend of orchestral grandeur with the contagious beats that define South Africa’s music scene. Partnered by Standard Bank and Windhoek, and supported by SAMPRA, Audiosure and Karl Lagerfeld; Msaki’s return to the stage, backed by this stellar cast of collaborators, promises an evening filled with emotionally charged performances and reimagined versions of her greatest hits.
