Join award-nominated saxophonist Thabani Gapara for My African Christmas — a joyful celebration of the festive season through the vibrant sounds of Africa.
This uplifting concert features original arrangements of beloved Christmas songs and hymns, alongside new compositions written specifically for the show. Each piece weaves together the warmth of the holidays with the energy and soul of African music traditions.
Take the sounds of Zimbabwean mbira music, Mbakumba, and Mhande, blend them with the infectious grooves of South African Mbaqanga, Kwela, and Marabi, and add the lively rhythms of West African highlife and Afro-beat. The result is a musical experience that is both deeply rooted and refreshingly new — a festive journey through the heartbeat of Africa.
With a dynamic ensemble, My African Christmas captures the joy, rhythm, and togetherness that define both African culture and the holiday spirit.
Celebrate the season with heritage, harmony, and original holiday music — an African Christmas to remember.
