L8 ANTIQUE LIVE

L8 Antique is a 5-piece band from Johannesburg,

South Africa, formed by Lebo Mahlatji in 2007. With a

unique sound that blends traditional South African

tribal music with urban genres, they embody the

country's cultural diversity. Their music style,

Shugumisa, is rooted in diverse South African tribes

and has an upbeat, world-class feel.

The band has shared stages with prominent artists

like Pops Mohammed, Lira, and Vusi Mahlasela, and

has performed at notable events such as the

International Arts Alive Festival and the Standard

Bank Joy of Jazz. They were voted Johannesburg's No.

1 band by the Gauteng Department of Sports Arts

Culture & Recreation in 2011.

L8 Antique's music has been featured in various films,

documentaries, and campaigns, including the award-

winning Breaking Ballet Campaign. They were

semifinalists in the Afropunk Battle of the Bands in

2017.

Their mission is to showcase the evolution of African

culture in an upbeat society, and their vision is to

make waves globally with their music. Their upcoming

single, "Umbila" (meaning "maize/corn" in Inguni

language), addresses social issues and features

Mr.VinceSA.

With their enchanting sound inspired by African folk

music and a lot of chanting, L8 Antique is set to take

the music scene by storm. Catch them live for a transformative experience!
