Selective Live Music experience with Chosi vol2
2026-07-12 15:00 - 21:00 UTC | Blackbrick Gardens, 2 Roodehek Street, Gardens, Cape Town, 8001, South Africa
We’re reopening and stepping into an exciting new chapter at our new home,

the rooftop of BlackBrick Gardens Hotel. Elevated, intimate, and effortlessly soulful,

Selective Live returns as your go-to Sunday experience where music,

culture, and sunset summers meet.

CHOSI invites you into a conversation through music — one that embraces pauses, intentional

reflection, and thoughtful response. Welcome to SELAH.

Expect vulnerable storytelling. In the midst of our busy lives, silent grief, and the pressure to move

on too quickly, SELAH offers a moment to pause, breathe, and feel.

Bring your person with you — this is not something to experience alone.

South Africa was first introduced to CHOSI through her viral Idols SA audition, where she

performed her original hit single Ntinga alongside the indigenous uhadi instrument. Born in the

heart of KwaZakhele Township in Port Elizabeth, CHOSI creates music that feels like memory,

prayer, and protest all at once.

Rooted in the rhythms of the Zion church and raised in a home filled with song, her sound is a

soulful meeting point between jazz, nesingqi, and storytelling. What began as poetry shaped by the

socio-political realities around her evolved into music that carries both tenderness and truth.

From stages across South Africa to composing for international film productions, CHOSI’s artistry

flows like a river — deeply African, spiritually grounded, and impossible to ignore.

Now based in Johannesburg, CHOSI returns to the city where her musical journey first began with

SELAH — an intimate evening of reflection, stillness, and soul-stirring sound.
