Legendary South African songstress Lira is bringing her one-woman show “Still Here” to Joburg this weekend.
This is more than a concert - it is a celebration of healing, courage and the transformative power of music.
The show also comes after Lira has spent the past few years recovering from a stroke. During this time, she lost her speech and the ability to read and write.
It's been almost four years of hard work on the road to recovery, and she is finally able to have a show and serenade the crowds with their favourite tunes.
“I’m going to tell my story through music and movement, and it’s going to be an entertaining yet powerful and healing experience!” she recently told “Independent Media Lifestyle”.
During this show, Lira will be accompanied by her band, and audiences can expect to enjoy some of the musician’s most iconic songs.
Where: The Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City.
When: Saturday, April 18, at 7pm.
This live concert featuring the award-winning South African Afro-soul artist is part of the "Saturday Nights Live" series. Attendees can expect a powerful performance featuring Nova's signature rich vocals and emotional hits such as "Ndikuthandile", "As'phelelanga" and many others.
