South African musician Kapi Gantsu is gearing up for an exciting new release. On 27 February 2026, he will unveil Kapi Gantsu Live at Victory Theatre, a five-track live EP that promises to capture the vibrancy and soul of his stage performances.

Kapi Gantsu’s sound is a dynamic blend of jazz, afro-soul, and Afro-pop, shaped by his upbringing in Tyholora, George, and his family roots in Middelburg and Cradock in the Eastern Cape. Surrounded by Zion hymns, traditional healer sounds, and Sunday jazz sessions, he developed a musical voice that bridges heritage and contemporary artistry. His influences include South African icons such as Gibson Kente, Hugh Masekela, Simphiwe Dana, and Don Laka.

From early stints with the George Spiritual Gospel Group, Boyz of Soul, and Agape, to founding PIKA Records, Gantsu has consistently pursued music that honors tradition while reaching global audiences. Kapi Gantsu Live at Victory Theatre captures that ethos, inviting listeners to experience the rhythm, storytelling, and energy that make his live shows so compelling.

As the release date approaches, anticipation is building for a live EP that promises to do more than entertain—it’s an invitation to feel, move, and connect with South African music in its most immediate form.
