The line-up will include Thandiswa Mazwai, Phuzekhemisi, Mi Casa, Desmond & The Tutus, Pu2ma, Khaya Mahlangu, Jeremy Loops and of course Bra Hugh himself as the headline act.
Bra Hugh’s relationship with Assupol goes way back, were the legend appears in the TV ad campaign since last year July.
Assupol which celebrates 100 years in the business -is one of SA’s insurers.
“I’m really looking forward to this festival. I always love performing in Soweto and with this wonderful and eclectic array of talent on the line-up, I think it’s going to be a very special day”, says Hugh Masekela, who at 74 years is showing no signs of slowing down.
He has also recently released a new album called “Playing At Work”.
Annelize van Blerk, Head of Corporate Affairs at Assupol, says: “Bra Hugh has a busy international touring schedule and it is only an honour for us to bring him to Soweto, a township that has supported and influenced his music over the years”.
“For us this concert is a fitting way to celebrate 100 years of Assupol, with a legend in the South African music industry who like Assupol, has stood the test of time.”
The Heritage fest will become an annual event.
