House of the Holy Afro is the temple of modern African groove – a genre-busting club show where gospel, poetry and dance come together in an explosion of colour, rhythm and thumping exuberance.

This night club spectacular directed by Brett Bailey unites three of South Africa’s hottest acts – innovative live performance company Third World Bunfight, hip club poet Odidi Mfenyana acting as event MC, and DJ Dino Moran, a pioneer in afro-fusion music who has headlined such events as Pacha (Ibiza), Ministry of Sound (London) and Tank (Sydney). Choreographed by Natalie Fisher, seven dancers and singers on stage provide uninhibited and wildly energetic animation to this audacious fusion of the urban and traditional, of raucously sung gospel and pulsing house beats, of slam-poetry and Afro-pop, to create an explosive night of driving rhythms, soaring harmonies and outlandishly irreverent kitsch.
