Queen of Afro-jazz Judith Sephuma has been chosen to perform at the Hans Zimmer Live Special Concert in Dubai on Friday, 27 January.
The Limpopo-born singer was approached by Lebo M, the Lion King producer and Grammy award-winning, Tony-nominated musical giant.
Sephuma and Lebo M will perform alongside two-time Oscar and four-time Grammy winner, film score composer and music producer Hans Zimmer.
An excited Sephuma shared the news on Instagram, writing “Sooo… I’ve been keeping this amazing news to myself for a few months now. My big brother @thereallebo_m called and asked me to join him on the @hans.zimmerlive tour and I accepted the invitation, not knowing how massive this is.
“This is a life-changing experience for me. It is a musician’s dream to work with an orchestra of this magnitude, to work with artists as well respected as Hans Zimmer Live, who is known for his amazing work as a film composer for movies like Batman.”
Sephuma, who has been in the singing business for over 20 years, has shared the stage with reputable artists like Oletta Adams and Chaka Khan, collaborated with Michael Bolton and performed for late president Nelson Mandela.
After 40 years in the industry, Zimmer is known for his exceptional theatrical and popular global tours where fans can enjoy his compositions live, performed by a full orchestra.
