I-Orchestra Ekasi

Soweto’s vibrant nightlife ecosystem hit a crescendo on Saturday, 7 November 2026, as Makubenjalo hosted the landmark I-Orchestra Ekasi concert.

Designed as a collision between live orchestral instrumentation and contemporary African sounds, the event served as the official launch platform for BLINK, curated by Jazzwrld and Thukuthela.

A standout moment of the evening was the performance featuring guest vocalist Babalwa M, whose rich vocal dimension complemented the live ensemble and elevated the concert into an unforgettable cultural showcase.

"To everyone who came out to celebrate with us, thank you for believing in our vision and supporting our music," shared the team. "This experience would not have been possible without the incredible artists, musicians, partners and supporters who helped bring it to life. We are truly grateful, and this is only the beginning."

With the successful conclusion of the 2026 event, Jazzwrld and Thukuthela have confirmed that I-Orchestra Ekasi will return in 2027 with new collaborations and expanded musical experiences.
