[[16 June]] KEENAN MEYER Presents WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN NOW?

Multi-award-winning pianist, composer and producer brings together some of South Africa’s most celebrated musicians for a powerful collective offering inspired by Victor Ntoni’s seminal composition, Where Are The Children Now? (2004).

This special Soweto Youth Uprising Day performance invites audiences into an evening of reflection, healing, and musical transcendence.

Drawing from Meyer’s acclaimed works The Alchemy of Living (2021) and Reawakening (2024), the performance explores themes of Afro-futurism, intergenerational healing, spirituality, joy, peace, and forgiveness. Audiences can expect a rich journey through the South African songbook, featuring compositions by visionary artists such as Nduduzo Makhathini, Tumi Mogorosi, Kyle Shepherd, and others who continue to shape the country’s contemporary jazz landscape.

Paul Hanmer: A Tribute to Feya Faku (Solo piano + Strings Quartet)

Legendary South African pianist and composer Paul Hanmer p(l)ays tribute to the late, great Feya Faku (live at the Basement)

Last year, the two jazz icons were set to share a stage in Switzerland, a performance cut tragically short by Feya’s untimely passing just a day before the show. Now, Paul Hanmer has painstakingly assembled the exact powerhouse lineup originally intended for that European tour—bringing together a brilliant rhythm section, brass, and a full string quartet to celebrate a truly beautiful artist and human being.

Rhythm Section:
Sydney Mavundla on flugelhorn
Nhlanhla Radebe on bass
Bernice Boikanyo on drums

Strings Quartet:
Bonolo Kgaile, Lebogang Ledwaba (violins), Khotso Langa (viola), and Daliwonga Tshangela (violoncello)

SUNDAY LIVE with Ndu Shezi (Live at the Basement)

A soulful Sunday session. Love songs, gospel, new music, and surprise collaborations — all under one roof.

Ndu Shezi () is one of South Africa’s most soulful and distinctive voices — a SAMA-nominated artist whose debut album Isibusiso Sami announced her as a singular presence in the African adult contemporary space. Now she returns to the stage with something intimate, generous, and entirely her own.

This Sunday session is a musical journey that moves between love songs and gospel, between the familiar and the new — curated by Ndu herself as an act of offering to her audience. Expect the warmth of revisited favourites alongside the thrill of new music being presented live for the very first time.

She’ll be joined by a handpicked selection of surprise guests — collaborators drawn from across the South African music landscape — borrowing from old sounds and merging them with current flavours to celebrate the richness of what this country produces. The result is an evening that uplifts, serenades, and inspires.

Come ready to be moved. Sunday at the Basement will not be ordinary.

Nduduzo Makhathini Presents: The Myth We choose “Exclusive Album Performance, talk and Vinyl signing”

The Myth We Choose has to be the most anticipated Blue Note Records album from Nduduzo Makhathini. On this project Makhathini breaks so many boundaries.

Songs are vital to a culture’s myth-making, Makhathini argues, which makes them essential to how future generations perceive history. “I have always felt that songs speak to us, songs look at us,” he writes in the album’s liner notes. “In years to come, it will be the histories of the day that will choose or not choose our songs. If our songs are not chosen, then our voices would never be heard…

On the contrary, if our songs are chosen, then indeed, what we are dealing with now is designing future myths. With our actions today, we are making suggestions for what tomorrow may be.”

Before this epic record lands on the 26th of June, Makhathini is embarking on an exclusive South African tour in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban to perform this album live, give a talk and sign vinyls. This will feature his trio with Dalisu Ndlazi on double Bass and Kabelo Mokhatla on drums. For these concerts Makhathini will also feature special guests such as Omagugu, Thando Zide and Muneyi.

[[20 June]] Mo Molemi’s “Motswako Black Tie”

Dress up, show up, for a night of heritage, rhythm, and celebration.

Motswako Black Tie is a celebration of a movement that reshaped South African hip hop. This is over two decades of Setswana lyricism, storytelling, and township philosophy that gave an entire generation a language to see itself in.

At the centre of the evening is Mo’Molemi, who is widely regarded as one of the movement’s most respected lyricists and architects.

For one night only, audiences will experience Mo’Molemi in a rare live band format reimagining classic records and deep cuts with warmth, texture, and musical depth.

Expect an immersive performance that moves between nostalgia and reinvention.

Tickets are now live on Quicket (via the link in our bio)
