Mörda teams up with internationally acclaimed Soweto Gospel Choir
Mörda and the Soweto Gospel Choir are to join forces for the History of House show on Mandela Day. The Road to Bassline Fest will present History of House as a genre-defying live show headlined by Afrohouse maestro Mörda and the globally acclaimed Soweto Gospel Choir. Taking place on July 18 at The Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City, this one-night only event promises a celebration of South African sound, soul and storytelling. The show will see the Grammy-winning Soweto Gospel Choir infuse classic house anthems such as Silence and Ride Like the Wind with their trademark harmonies and a uniquely local flavour, while Mörda, formerly of Black Motion, brings the heat with hits from his Asante trilogy, including the powerful single Glory. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Mörda said he is looking forward to the experience. 'I want people to dance, to feel free.' 'We can't wait to showcase our take on these evergreen house classics,' said Shimmy Jiyane of the choir. Opening the show is rising star Brandon Aura, fresh from wowing crowds at Fête de la Musique, who will deliver his blend of folk-pop with an African twist. The event is supported by Sampra, BET and the Nelson Mandela Foundation, with a call to action for attendees to support the 'It's In Your Hands' campaign by donating blankets or contributing during ticket purchases.

Dance the day and night away under Ain Dubai at AfroLOUD
Ain Dubai is set to welcome the new music festival, AfroLOUD. Taking place on 5 April, the event is the biggest Afro festival of its kind in the region. Presented by Butterfly Carnival, it brings 10 artists from around the world, combined with un-filled, family-friendly experiences. AfroLOUD in Ain Dubai has curated a day-to-night festival experience that runs from 2pm until late. The event includes artists, a live band, food stalls and fashion pop-ups. The event will bring together a star-studded lineup of stars from the Afrobeats, Afro house, and Afro Desi genres. Expect the sounds of drums and sights of a lively dancefloor. And, if you're after an Insta-worthy experience, you can dance the day and night away under the world's tallest observation wheel, Ain Dubai. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AfroLOUD (@afroloud) Ain Dubai is twice the height of the London Eye, and was constructed from 11,200 tonnes of steel – that's 33 per cent more than the Eiffel Tower. Each leg stands at a whopping 126 meters, and each cabin is larger than two double-decker buses. The observation wheel resumed rotations in December 2024 after being closed for several years due to planned improvement works. This isn't the first time that Afrobeat stars have come to the UAE. In October, 2024, Afrobeats performer Omah Lay opened the new season at BLU Oasis. In November 2024, Afrobiano Fest took place in Abu Dhabi, and the headliners included SNE. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AfroLOUD (@afroloud) Tickets are available now for AfroLOUD in Ain Dubai. Tickets include General Admission, VIP Standing and Brunch Package.
