Morning live Interview with Prof. Musa Xulu
Songbird Sibongile Mngoma, soapstar Dawn Tandeka King, members of the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra are some of the musical giants that headline The House of Shaka, in a day-long celebration of enchanting choral music, Indian and Zulu dancing, poetry and crafts.
Also on the line-up is rapper Ntokozo Zakwe; comedian Simphiwe Shembe; Sboniso da Poet; 5th Season and cultural performances by various folk and traditional groups. According to the organisers the centrepiece of the day's programme, entitled, House of Shaka - The Musical, has been composed by and will be conducted by Professor Musa Xulu.
The House Of Shaka ensemble meets King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu of the Zulu Kingdom.
The House of Shaka is a concert for everyone to enjoy at the picturesque nature reserve where King Shaka use to keep his cattle. The concert will take audiences on a journey of the history of King Shaka Zulu. Shaka was a son of Senzangakhona, ruler of an insignificant small chiefdom, the Zulu. His mother
was Nandi, the daughter of a Langeni chief. Shaka was the King of the Zulus for a brief decade and during his reign there are wonderful stories and interesting
facts about his life that patrons will be made aware of in the form of music. We are very excited to be hosting this concert as we believe that preserving our
history and ensuring that information filters from generation to generation is very important.
This spectacular concert is another avenue for cultivating the love for music in the youth and also sharing our rich heritage. This concert promotes social
cohesion and the youth and the older generation will enjoy it. It features a phenomenal choral ensemble with the accompaniment of string orchestral
players. Various soloists will be performing and it will definitely be a concert to enjoy. We plan to make this an annual event that will not only entertain but also educate the youth specially as well as society at broad about our history. It is also no coincidence that we have chosen the day of reconciliation for this
concert. This day was specifically chosen as we are aware that this is a public holiday that celebrates unity in South Africa and the best way South Africans
celebrate is through song and dance.
Tickets for the concerts vary from R 70 for block(group) bookings of 5 or more and R100 per person for standard single tickets.
Our media partner for the event is Ukhozi FM, the concert is hosted by the Heritage Development Trust and it made possible through the generous support
of the National Lotteries Commission.
You may know our talented ambassadors from the television production uZalo, well Dawn Thandeka King will be performing on the 16th of December and Mpume Blose will also be hosting our guests so if you are a fan get your tickets from Computicket for R100 and don't miss out on a production like no other at Coedmore Castle, Yellowwood Park.
The House of Shaka is choral musical stage production that has been commissioned by The Heritage Development and will take place at Coedmore Castle in Yellowwood Park at the Kenneth Stainbank Nature Reserve on 90 Coedmore Road.
The choice of this beautiful venue is because of its historical background and relevance to the House of Shaka production. This venue is where King Shaka kept some of his cattle and also used to house men that were sent by King Shaka to monitor the going ons on the Durban Harbour. The picturesque Castle, which once used to be a home to the Kenneth Stainbank family, now serves as an ideal venue for events such as the House of Shaka Concert. The venue is managed by the Ezemvelo Wildlife and is the perfect setting for concerts that promote peace and nation building as the moment you walk in to the venue you are automatically surrounded by peace and tranquillity.
The concert style will be very relaxed, audiences can bring their own camp chairs, blankets and picnic baskets. It will be a spectacular outdoor event where people of all ages and races can mingle and enjoy the soothing sounds of a choral ensemble with the accompaniment of a string orchestra.
The main target audience for the concert is particularly the youth, families and any group of people that love good music while enjoying company of their friends. The concert is will take place on Wednesday, 16 December which is the day of reconciliation. This is a perfect day to celebrate the times we are living in now where all racial groups can mingle freely and enjoy the company of one another.
Music is a universal language that is good at uniting all nations and age groups, we encourage all people living in Kwa Zulu-Natal and the surrounding areas to come along and experience world class music composed, orchestrated and directed by Professor Musa Xulu. Professor Musa Xulu has subsequently gained other PHD's and he is still studying and actively involved in the Culture, Heritage and Tourism economy. This is a proudly South African product that speaks about our people and to our people.
The House of Shaka concert does not only focus mainly on the youth as its audience for the main concert on 16 December, but also as the production team. The staff for the production are mainly youth and the concert has assisted over 30 young people with employment, in a time where hope is generally lost in the youth, it is very encouraging and heart-warming to witness productions that are for the youth and also working with the youth in making it a success.
The day of reconciliation public holiday was introduced after the end of the apartheid era in South Africa, what better way to show the world at large how South Africa has reunited and how we have world-class productions that can be enjoyed by anyone. Come along and witness history in the making for yourself as this concert promises to be an event not to be missed.

Empangeni Breakfast Launch
​Reviving the spirit of Shaka through music - Zululand Observer
AIMED at educating the youth on the history of South Africa through music, the House of Shaka Choral Music Production was launched on Tuesday in Empangeni.
The choral musical stage production with chorus, soloists, traditional music, dialogue and backed by an orchestra has been composed, produced and directed by Professor Musa Xulu, the first black person to obtain a PHD in Ethnomusicology from a South African university.
Formalising the culture, heritage and tourism economies, the production has created 30 full time and 74 part time posts and intends to professionalise the choral music sector by using business skills.
The performers tell a story of the Zulu Kingdom, the liberation struggle and the liberated people, by taking the audience on a journey from 1780 – which is the birth of Shaka Zulu to 1828 – the death of Shaka.
The production also addresses the rise of King Dinuzulu and the emergence of the new class of educated liberators in 1912 and their struggles from then to 1994 and beyond.
The 94-minute performance, touching on themes such as peace, liberation, growth and development is emphasised by various soloists, duets and choruses.
In talks with an American production team to promote cultural exchange, Professor Xulu said House of Shaka will, in due course, be launched abroad.
