Bassline Live presents “History of House” with Mörda and the Soweto Gospel Choir

Two musical powerhouses are coming together for a musical spectacle in Joburg this weekend.

This concert will see a collaboration between the three-time Grammy Award-winner, the Soweto Gospel Choir’s ‘History of House’, as well as the Grammy-nominated Mörda, whose real name is Bongani Mohosana.

It is expected to fuse the choir's emotional depth with the “Horns in the Sun” hitmaker's Afro-futuristic sound.

Attendees are also urged to bring something to donate to the Nelson Mandela Foundation as part of Mandela Day festivities.

Where: The Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City Casino.

When: Friday, July 18, from 8pm.
