Off the back of his Best Global Music Performance nod at the 65th edition of the Grammy Awards; Zakes Bantwini joined forces with Glenmorangie for the next installment of the Glenmorangie Experience.

The alcohol brand hosted its third event at Konka Day Club in Soweto on Sunday 19 March 2023 where Bantwini will perform alongside a stellar line-up of local acts. The experience is a multi-sensory event, with the fusion of visuals, sound, and delicious drinks.

Thousands of attendees gathered at the country’s trendiest lifestyle spots last year and this coming edition promises to transform Soweto into a wonderland of experiences. “I am proud and excited to continue working on these groundbreaking events with Glenmorangie,” Bantwini says. “If you haven’t been to the Glenmorangie Experience, I encourage you to come on down and enjoy a night you won’t forget”.

“Zakes has always broken boundaries so it was no surprise when his name was called on the music industry’s biggest stage,” says Josh Piketh, Brand Manager for Glenmorangie in South Africa. “We’re excited to partner with him once again through this unique experience, as he continues his mission to use music to bring people together.”

The 65th Grammy Awards took place on Sunday, February 5 at the Crypto.com Arena, in Los Angeles in the United States. Hosted by South Africa’s very own former Daily Show host and comedian Trevor Noah, the ceremony saw SA winning once again with Zakes Bantwini, Nomcebo Zikode, and Wouter Kellerman winning an award.

During their acceptance speeches, Wouter thanked the Grammy’s for the huge nod and said it was a beautiful moment.

“Thank you so much. This is such a beautiful moment on the road to sharing South African music and culture with the world,” he said.

Zakes Bantwini also took the mic and said, “I just want to say, we are coming from Africa, South Africa. And this moment right here to anybody who’s in Africa just proves and affirms that every dream is valid.”

Nomcebo Zikode sang a snippet of her massive hit Jerusalema and went on to thank the people involved in the success of Bayethe.

Taking to Twitter, Zakes retweeted their massive win and said God is number 1!
