Originating from Xhosa families - one of the thirteen official cultures in South Africa - these artists have past event surrounded by music and dance since af. For them, singing together at a meal is as natural and meaningful as the food itself. In Xhosa culture, families are central, and traditions are passed down from generation to generation. Singer and dancer Lungiswa Plaatjies puts it aptly: "My family is my immune system. Without respect, love, communication and wisdom, we can do nothing."
Bursting with energy, South African Road Trip welcomes you to their Family and introduces you to their culture and family customs. In We Are Family you will get to know the singers, dancers and musicians up close through the personal songs and family stories.
With banging live band they perform African songs by artists such as Brenda Fassie, Miriam Makeba and Fela Kuti, but also play hits such as We Are Family (Sister Sledge) and Respect (Aretha Franklin). South African Road Trip once again guarantees a rousing evening of song, dance and South African vibes.
