Tuesday, 04 April 2023, Johannesburg, South Africa: Internationally recognised and award winning South African rapper and songwriter, ‘Kwesta’ celebrates 16 years in the game with a live tour and concert.
Born Senzo Vilakazi, in Katlehong, Kwesta’s journey and contribution to local Hip Hop, began in high school after he realized his potential and the impact of his words.
16 years later, the star has gone to sell platinum records and collaborate with international rap giants utilizing his significant style of writing and his unique ability to tell stories.
To celebrate his legacy and his impact on popular culture, the ‘Spirit’ hitmaker is launching a tour titled ‘The 16th Bar Legacy Tour’. The tour will kick off with 15 shows in and around Gauteng, that will ultimately build up to the 16th final show, where the hitmaker will be joined by star-studded artists on his junket.
Each show on this legacy tour will be conceptualized and curated to represent each year Kwesta has celebrated in the game.
Paying homage to the game and keeping true to his Hip Hop roots, “16th Bar Legacy” is a play on words of the number of bars he tends to leave on every verse.
