SUMMARY:Phila Dlozi presents Ikhandlela
DESCRIPTION:Phila Dlozi is a South African Afro-soul singer\, songwriter and cultural storyteller whose voice carries both ancestry and urgency. Rooted in tradition yet undeniably contemporary\, his music exists at the intersection of indigenous wisdom\, spiritual conviction and modern African expression. His sound blends Afro-soul\, folk textures and acoustic vulnerability into something that feels both ancient and immediate. \nRaised with a deep awareness of heritage and calling\, Phila does not simply create music — he translates experience. His songwriting is emotionally honest\, spiritually anchored and intentionally crafted. Themes of home\, identity\, longing\, faith and illumination run through his catalogue\, reflecting an artist who understands that music can be both personal testimony and communal offering. \nFrom the heartfelt storytelling of Ekhayakomama to powerful collaborations and acoustic reimaginings\, Phila has steadily built a body of work that bridges generations. His evolving sonic journey reflects a new wave of conscious African artistry — one that honours tradition while shaping the future. \nCentral to his artistic vision is Ikhandlela — not just a song\, it’s a Prayer\, a movement. Symbolising light\, guidance and shared humanity\, Ikhandlela represents Phila’s commitment to gathering people through music. It is a reminder that even in uncertain times\, there is illumination to be found — within culture\, within community\, and within oneself. \nOn stage\, Phila does more than perform — he gathers. Whether in intimate acoustic settings or on larger cultural platforms\, his presence is intentional and immersive. His voice does not simply fill a room; it resonates\, drawing listeners into a shared moment of reflection\, connection and truth. \nAs his audience continues to grow both locally and internationally\, Phila Dlozi stands as one of the most compelling emerging voices in Afro-soul — an artist rooted in calling and guided by light. \nIn a world searching for noise\, he chooses resonance. \nIn a world chasing attention\, he chooses alignment. \nAnd through Ikhandlela\, he reminds us all: the light was never lost — it was always within.

SUMMARY:Kujenga Live at The Chairman
DESCRIPTION:Kujenga returns to The Chairman\, not just for a performance\, but for a gathering. \nBased in Cape Town and shaped by the sounds of Black expression\, this 6-piece Band moves between jazz\, afrobeat\, and everything in between. \nThis night isn’t just about new music. It’s about connection. A space where the past speaks\, the present breathes\, and the future is imagined. \nIt’s not just a performance\, this is a shared experience
