S’nazo Unplugged @ Kippies: Live, Intimate, Soulful

This winter promises a soul-warming musical treat for Jo’burg music lovers. This as Afro-soul rising star S’nazo takes over the Kippies stage for two unplugged performances happening on 11 – 12 July 2026 at 7:30pm and 3:30pm, respectively.

Self-titled S’nazo Unplugged, the concert showcases the 1x SAMA-nominated artist’s original compositions alongside timeless classics that have inspired her career, all stripped-down by a small band and delivered in her commanding voice.

Having graced stages of different sizes, S’nazo now arrives at the Kippies Fringe to unwind, connect and make a new statement, forming a bond with her audience that lives on like a beautifully sustained note.

For her, being on the Kippies stage feels like connecting with great artists who have influenced South Africa’s contemporary Afro-soul and jazz sound.

“As a soulful live performer, I find intimate venues exciting in how they allow for unforgettable musical experiences. I’m looking forward to opening myself up and sharing the stories I carry, and how I interpret the world around me.”

 Whether you’re familiar with S’nazo’s work or looking for a new music plug, this show is an opportunity to feel a fresh sound. “The set list,” she reveals, “journeys through healing, love, hope and reflection. And the performances speak to the whole person, mind, body and soul. So, bring all parts of you that need some loving, and allow the music to be your warm escape.”

Nicknamed ‘the Girl with Pipes’ for her powerful vocals, S’nazo was born in Mthatha in the Eastern Cape and currently lives in Jo’burg. She holds a Bachelor of Social Sciences degree from the University of the Free State, where she started her music journey as a backing vocalist.

Her determined rise in the industry began in October 2020 when she released her debut Afropop single, Ntliziyo Yami, produced by musical genius Afrotraction. It’s further cemented through radio airplay and unplugged sessions on national radio stations, a South African Music Awards nomination for her first album, along with her music syncing on SABC 1’s popular drama series, Skeem Saam.

If it’s a musically rich, personalised performance you’re looking for, be sure not to miss S’nazo Unplugged live @ Kippies on 11 & 12 July 2026 at 7:30pm and 3:30pm, respectively.
