On August 30th, the stage at Kings Kraal in Bryanston will become a sacred space where music and art collide, as MXO, the maverick of South African music, marks his 20th anniversary with a tour that defies boundaries and honors the legends who paved the way. This evening promises to be an unforgettable experience, steeped in nostalgia, cultural preservation, and forward-thinking artistry.
In a fitting tribute to his roots and influences, MXO will be joined by the legendary McCoy Mrubata whose mastery of jazz will intertwine with MXO’s genre-defying sound, creating a sonic journey that pays homage to the greats while pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.
This celebration of art doesn’t stop at music. The iconic Nico Phooko, a legend in his own right, will bring his artistry to life on stage, painting live as the music unfolds. His brush will capture the spirit of the night, immortalizing the experience on canvas, turning sound into visual poetry.
Adding another layer to this rich tapestry, MXO will showcase a collection of his memorabilia through a special exhibition. This includes his art, his wine, and rum brands—ventures that underscore his commitment to creating sustainable revenue streams for artists in a changing industry landscape.
The band accompanying MXO and Bra Mccoy will be a vibrant mix of upcoming and Seasoned musicians @YonelaMnana on Grand Piano, Kgethi Nkotsi on Trombone, Lwanda Gogwana on Trumpet, Lsax on Alto Sax, Ntando on Bass and Bopha on drums, embodying the future of South African music and ensuring that the torch is passed to the next generation of innovators.
MXO’s 20th Anniversary Tour is not just a reflection on his journey but a bold statement about the future—a future where art, culture, and sustainability are celebrated and preserved.
