(The Goddess of Finessa, Rhea Blek)
iSupport Creative Business, in collaboration with The Luthuli Museum and supported by Concerts SA present Rhea Blek in a virtual concert that is available to watch from December 15, 2020.
Rhea Blek, aka The Goddess of Finessa, is a female singer-songwriter who creates genre-less music for the boundless generation. She has an impressively delicate touch and skilful use of her voice, which is pretty in line with the definition of ‘finesse’. You can tell Rhea is born and bred in the city of Durban, if you have been paying attention to the sounds coming out the 031 lately.
“I really hope you enjoy this performance and take it in. The performance coincides with the release of my newest single Dirty Dancing, which is a really fun track,” says Rhea Blek.
Blek's band features Sanele Bhengu (DJ Vintage) on the decks and bassist Sihle Nkomo. The concert will also include a performance by the poet Dr Prof from Uhuru Poetry In Motion Club at The Luthuli Museum with his poem Umgcine Baba.
This concert is initiated as part of a partnership between The Luthuli Museum and Concerts SA, produced by iSupport Creative Business. The Luthuli Museum is a site of international historical significance. It celebrates the life and legacy of Chief Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli, a human rights champion, an exemplary African leader and the first African to be awarded the 1960 Nobel Peace Prize.
