Rahman to hold ‘Jai Ho’ concert in South Africa

Oscar-winner A R Rahman will lend some star power to the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the first Indians in South Africa with a three-city tour of his ‘Jai Ho’ concert.

Rahman will also become the first overseas artist to play at the prestigious Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, built especially for the recent FIFA 2010 World Cup. He will also play in Cape Town and at Sun City in November.

“South African fans can expect a fusion of Eastern and Western musical influences that will take Bollywood music into the future with this incredible production”, said Sam Hendrikse, CEO of Hunta Live, who is co-hosting the show with DStv Indian.

Rahman embarked on his world tour in June this year and has already taken his theatrical experience to 16 major cities worldwide. Rahman embarked on his world tour in June this year and has already taken his theatrical experience to 16 major cities worldwide.
