Lorraine Klaasen, daughter of legendary South African jazz singer Thandie Klaasen, is one of the few South African artists to have preserved the classic sound of township music, which remains the most distinctive sound to emerge from South Africa. Born and raised in Soweto, Lorraine has electrified audiences around the world with her dynamic stage presence and showwoman skills. Lorraine was influenced by the giants of South African music in the 1950s and 1960s, such as Miriam Makeba (who was a close friend of Lorraine and Thandie), as well as Dolly Rathebe, Dorothy Masuka, Sophie Mgcina and Busi Mhlongo, who frequented her mother’s home. Baptized “The Queen” of the Nuits d’Afrique International Festival, Lorraine Klaasen will be back to celebrate her 40-year career.
