Riding on the wave of a successful inaugural Muru show that was recently hosted at The Caff, soulful DJ Allegro Africa is back with another explosive instalment of the show slated for February 1 at the same venue.
Designed to create an intimate and immersive outdoor experience filled with good vibes, heartfelt interactions, and exceptional music, it is safe to say the first instalment of the show lived up to its very billing as fans have called for a follow-up hardly two months on.
“The return of the show is by popular demand,” Allegro told Newsday this week.
“Those who attended and those who missed out have demanded that we do it again. So, we had to be quick about it.”
The previous line-up featuring the likes of El Part El, Phiz DJ, Khebza, Fivo and Mr Beekay will once again join Allegro on stage to deliver yet another unforgettable experience for the revelers.
The accompanying artists were carefully selected from a wider pool of “friends of Allegro”—a group of close friends and industry associates who share his vision of a supportive and harmonious creative environment.
The venue for Muru—a forest setting—makes the name a natural choice, as Muru means forest in Sesotho, and Allegro believes that its ambience will enhance the audience’s connection with both the music and nature, adding to the magic of the evening in the forest.
“The choice of the venue is a refreshing one; the people invited are very chilled; and the music to be delivered is going to add on to the experience of a life time.”
The idea behind the show is to give Allegro’s followers a chance to unplug with him and like-minded people while taking a break from their busy life schedules.
“I want to give my people an opportunity to connect with me,” Allegro shared. “Our lives are so tied up with busy schedules, and I think this event will be a perfect escape from the hectic world.”
When he is not organising Muru, Allegro can be found hosting an online podcast, The Allegro Africa Podcast, which is fast gaining traction.
Allegro, whose real name is Nthethe Sekoli, is former member of the now disbanded house group, Zagro DJs comprising him, DJ Skizo and DJ Khebza.
