Legendary Kwaito outfit TKZee to rock the stages of Cape Town

By CityLife Arts Writer

Kwaito heavy weights of the 1990s TKZee will be taking old fans down memory lane and introduce their legendary sound to new fans, the so called Ma2000s, in reference to youth born after the year 2000, when they go on stage in Cape Town on March 25.

This gig sponsored by whisky brand Grant’s will take place at Cape Town’s Old Biscuit Mill on Friday, 25.

This marks the coming back Grant’s Triple Good Sessions  promising to be bigger than ever. Following the first installment in Johannesburg last year, and February’s Durban event, the invite-only experience aimed at bringing crews together will be touching down in Cape Town for the first time on the 25th of March at The Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock.

Joining the legendary kwaito crew TKZee on the bill hosted by Zulu Mkhathini are DJs Ready D, Akio, Fort Noks, and rapper Dee Koala.

TKZee member Zwai Bala says the group is excited to touchdown in the Mother City. “There has always been Capetonians saying they can’t wait for us to come to their city, so it’ll be a win-win situation because we have also been so looking forward to the chance to perform in Cape Town.”

TKZee fans can find out how to gain entry to the experience by logging onto Grant’s social media pages and using the hashtag #GrantsTripleGoodSessions when they post. “Grant’s is all about collective achievement and bringing people together to celebrate their successes together no matter how big or small, which is why friendship is at the heart of what we do,” said Thenjiwe Mabope, South African brand manager for Grant’s Whisky. “These are not just events for us. They are experiences that encapsulate the importance of people coming together and segues to lifelong relationships with Grant’s at the centre,” she adds.

Grant’s’ liquid gold, however, is not the only thing that sets them apart. Their experiences are just as legendary and aim to impress. This year’s instalment started off with a Durban leg hosted at Cuba Lounge BLK at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. The festivities saw guests treated to Grant’s premium whisky experience, accompanied by a heavy hitter music line-up including a trio of headliners, TKZee, DJ Tira, Professor and DJ Funky Soul.
