Jonathan Butler is in Botswana and ready to roll at the Afro Jazz Festival tomorrow (March 4th) at Molapo Showcase Piazza.
Alongside him will be South Africa’s Lloyiso, Khoisan, and Sereetsi & The Natives.
“For all those in Gaborone and surrounding areas, I’ll see you on the dance floor on Saturday as we witness one of the greatest to ever hold a guitar” said Gaborone Mayor, Austin Abraham, at the Press Conference yesterday.
The man behind the show, Thapelo Fish Pabalinga, who is also the Managing Director of Leapfrog revealed that Lloyiso (RSA) , Sereetsi and the Natives, and Khoisan will also grace the stage alongside the living legend.
Known best for the popular Gaborone International Music Festival (GIMC), Pabalinga stressed that Leapfrog’s mandate is to always bring together the very best of International and local acts to the stage.
“Jonathan Butler is indeed one of the greatest in the game, so it is a great honour to host him in Botswana. I trust that he will do great in sharing wisdom with local artists as well as giving Batswana a great show.”
Despite his hectic schedule, he shared that Butler will be available for intimate engagements with local artists who are looking to learn from him.
“I’ve been here about four times before and I get excited everytime I come back to Botswana,” said Butler.
“I count this as home, which is why I did not hesitate to become a part of this event when Fish called me.”
According to Leapfrog, patrons can look forward to a jazzed up night to remember.
