Red Bull Symphonic Kabza De Small with Ofentse Pitse and the Symphonic Orchestra, a ground-breaking blend of modern-style music and classical orchestration, will make its highly awaited debut in South Africa on June 8, 2024 at the famed Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City in Johannesburg. This unprecedented performance will bring together two musical worlds as famous King of Amapiano Kabza De Small performs his iconic repertoire with a full-scale symphonic orchestra led by
female conductor, Ofentse Pitse. 
 
Red Bull Symphonic Kabza De Small with Ofentse Pitse and the Symphonic Orchestra is more than simply a performance, it’s an African story which is rooted in our culture and heritage and evolves sonically into the sounds of Amapiano which are celebrated globally. This genre is firmly ingrained in South African township culture, and will be reimaged with the majesty of artistic symphony. 
 
Immerse yourself in the majestic interpretations of songs like, Khusela, Imithandazo,and others. This is going to be an incredible night, as Amapiano’s addictive rhythms and iconic log drum melodies are masterfully arranged and played by a 33-piece orchestra and an 8-piece choir, resulting in a symphonic fusion. 

 

Commenting on having an orchestra interpret his songs Kabza said, “It’s really crazy, the thought of it all. But many of my songs focus on vocals, and a lot of Amapiano is very instrumental so I think people will be familiar with it. Amapiano is taking over the world, and through collaborations like this, who knows how much further we could push the genre?”  

Ofentse Pitse, the collaboration’s conductor, emphasised her delight about the Mzansi instalment of Red Bull Symphonic’s unique nature: “The clash of two worlds between Amapiano and Classical music will create an electrifying atmosphere in which anything is possible. It’s about breaking away from conventional limits and enabling the music to grow into something genuinely exceptional.” 

This is set to be a truly spiritual experience where fans can expect a 2-hour voyage to another world of music fusion! In addition to Kabza De Small’s thrilling performance, Red Bull Symphonic Kabza De Small with Ofentse Pitse and the Symphonic Orchestra will feature a host of guest artists who will increase the diversity and intensity of an already extraordinary evening.
