Renowned Grammy Award-winner Lebohang ‘Lebo M’ Morake is set to make musical history with his first-ever live concert in Cape Town—a one-night-only extravaganza. 'Lebo M Live' will feature special guest Hans Zimmer.
The highly anticipated concert has been relocated from Artscape to the Grand Arena at GrandWest on April 18, 2025, offering a larger stage and an upgraded production experience.
This concert celebrates nearly 40 years of Lebo M's illustrious career, which began with the iconic film The Power of One. His groundbreaking contributions to Disney’s The Lion King redefined the intersection of music and film, earning him global recognition and numerous accolades.
The acclaimed music sensation expressed his excitement about hosting his first live concert season in Cape Town.
“My music is – and always will be – rooted in home soil, and I couldn’t be more excited about staging my first live concert season in Cape Town. The music from The Lion King not only touched hearts and minds around the world, it continues to provide an inspirational platform to uplift local talent and inspire the next generation of creators.”
Zimmer also shared a few words, expressing his gratitude for having walked this journey with Morake.
“I am thrilled that we have been partners, brothers, and friends since childhood. We began our journey creating films about Africa at a time when few were willing to do.”
The star-studded global ensemble promises an unforgettable experience, featuring acts such as MiCasa, The Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, The Soweto Spiritual Singers, and the Ndlovu Youth Choir. Adding to the stellar lineup are singer-songwriters Nkosinathi Shabalala and Refi Sings.
Morake’s concert follows the release of Walt Disney's highly anticipated Mufasa: The Lion King, which premiered on December 9, 2024, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and was released in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on December 20.
