This concert is a musical expression of the close-knit relationship between two art forms. Music and movies both have the power of emotionally charged dreams. Further, this show celebrates these two artists, who besides their family ties share the same passion for cinema and music.
Jonathan Butler is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who leads a life few can imagine. He was born in South Africa under the shadow of apartheid and raised in poverty. However, Butler became the first non-white artist to be played on South African radio and appear on national television. His musical abilities would take him away from the world he grew up in. But Jonathan would neither forget the plight of his fellow South Africans, nor the man that led them to freedom. It is for this reason Nelson Mandela credits Butler’s music as having inspired him during his imprisonment.
