Grammy-nominated DJ and producer GORDO is gearing up to electrify South Africa with his highly anticipated debut headline show at Cape Town’s Cabo Beach on November 2024 Friday 1st. Following this, he’ll bring his powerhouse energy to Johannesburg on November 2nd, performing at Shimza’s iconic KUNYE party. As GORDO’s first performance in South Africa, this debut promises a thrilling showcase of his signature sound, complete with high-energy beats, immersive visuals, and an atmosphere that will make for an unforgettable musical journey.
“AfroHouse comes from South Africa. If I’m gonna dive into that world, the least I could do is acknowledge such an amazing culture and give back – says GORDO – I stumbled upon THE DON Madfunz, a guy from South Africa with amazing energy. His taste in music grabbed my attention, but it was his dancing, smile and story that really hooked me. The Don would walk 9 miles to work every single day, and dreamed one day finally being able to own a car so he can provide for his family. I wanted to show that Don’s positive attitude and joyful spirit are something we can all learn from, no matter what we’re going through. His story is a reminder that even when life gets tough, you can still find reasons to smile.”
Furthering his journey as a global ambassador for positive change, GORDO will dedicate time to Bridges Academy with the Bridges for Music foundation during his South African tour. This organization empowers youth from underserved communities through music and entrepreneurial education, perfectly aligning with GORDO’s mission to give back. GORDO has already championed impactful initiatives in Nicaragua and Guatemala, contributing to the construction of schools and creative hubs, including a recent education center in Nuevo Eden, Guatemala. His involvement with Bridges for Music underscores his deep commitment to harnessing music’s power to inspire, uplift, and transform communities worldwide.
