· by Rédaction PAN M 360

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.

Lorraine Klaasen, fille de la légendaire chanteuse de jazz sud-africaine Thandie Klaasen, est l’une des rares artistes sud-africaines à avoir préservé le son classique de la musique de township, qui reste le son le plus distinctif à émerger d’Afrique du Sud. Née et élevée à Soweto, Lorraine a électrisé des publics du monde entier avec sa présence dynamique sur scène et son talent de showwoman. Lorraine a été influencée par les géants de la musique sud-africaine des années 1950 et 1960, tels que Miriam Makeba (qui était une amie proche de Lorraine et de Thandie), ainsi que Dolly Rathebe, Dorothy Masuka, Sophie Mgcina et Busi Mhlongo, qui fréquentaient la maison de sa mère. Baptisée ‘’La Reine’’ du Festival international Nuits d’Afrique en y étant programmée dès les premières éditions, Lorraine Klaasen fera son grand retour et viendra célébrer ses 40 ans de carrière.
