And Bongani Fassie is super HAPPY!
South Africa's Brenda Fassie died nine years ago since then
South Africa is still missing the beloved icon!
On the 23rd this month the Hansa Festival of Legends will bring MaBrrr back to life in a hologram form.
This is the first holographic project done in Africa and if you recall it was once done to the well-known rapper Tupac. So it’s time for South Africa to shine once again as the historical country in Africa.
Dubbed the “Madonna of the townships” by Time Magazine and known to many as MaBrrr, she thrilled and entertained the audience with her dance moves and hit songs that were and still love by many South Africans and international fans.
Now, she
will be brought back to life on the 23rd of March through a
holographic performance that will enable a three dimensional image to be made
of the pop queen.
The life
like images will be made possible through lasers and sophisticated lighting
that comes together to form an image.
In a
press statement her son Bongani Fassie said it has been always his dream to perform
with her mother again.
“I feel
good about what I/we are doing for my late mother and I am truly grateful.” Said
Bongani Fassie.
Bongani
told the Entertainment-Home that he had no idea this would happen. When asked
if he won’t be emotional and cry – “I cannot spoil the show for the audience,
but if you come to the show and see... LOL!” said Bongani.
He told
us that the show will not affect him in a negative way but he just misses his
mother and he does cry but only tears of joy.
“Thanks to the Hologram, it will look like Brenda herself
is taking control of the stage in her trademark disco queen.” said Khensani
Nobanda – of Hansa.
Other special Kwaito tribute will be performed by Arthur Mafokate,
Mdu, Thebe and Spikiri. Hip Hop rapper and Metro FM award winner, Khuli Chana.
The 10 hour festival will take place once again at the Mary
Fitzgerald Square in Newtown.
