South African Road Trip - We Are Family

Coming from Xhosa families – one of the thirteen official cultures in South Africa – these artists have been surrounded by music and dance from a young age. For them, singing together over a meal is as natural and meaningful as the food itself.

In Xhosa culture, families are central, and traditions are passed down from generation to generation, with the mother always playing a special and prominent role.

Singer and dancer Lungiswa Plaatjies puts it aptly:

“My family is my immune system. Without respect, love, communication and wisdom we can do nothing.”

Bursting with energy, South African Road Trip welcomes you into their family and introduces you to their culture and family customs. In We Are Family, you get to know the singers, dancers and musicians up close through personal songs and family stories.

With a cracking live band they bring African songs by artists such as Brenda Fassie, Miriam Makeba and Fela Kuti, but also play hits such as 'We Are Family' (Sister Sledge) and 'Respect' (Aretha Franklin). South African Road Trip guarantees once again an exciting evening full of singing, dancing and South African vibes.
