SA’s favourite musical siblings are taking their talent to the world after representing SA and performing at the Festival of Nations in the USA!
Global (10 September 2023) — Musical siblings Biko’s Manna (and Mfundo) have come a long way since their performance to crowds in Maboneng on weekends, with a recent highlight being the opportunity to perform at the Festival of Nations in the USA where performers from over 35 countries took to the spotlight.
Their standing as a local crowd favourite soon expanded to music lovers outside of South Africa after the sibling trio took to the stages of TikTok; sharing many a viral moment for their twist on local and international melodies.
The musical siblings Manna, Biko and Mfundo have 1.3 million followers on the platform, and over 15 million likes—a fanbase of support most artists merely dare to dream of.
However, the opportunity to perform in front of thousands live is still something no virtual stage can compete with, and The Festival of Nations in Saint Louis, Missouri is certainly no sidestreet stage.
For Biko and Manna (who are in their teens) and little Mfundo (who is still in primary school) their moment in front of music talents and appreciators from around the world, live-jive, was also a glimpse into the future of performance-rich possibilities.
Adding to their US diary, the three also performed at the National Museum of African American Music in one of the States’ music capitals—Nashville.
South Africans continue to sing the Joburg talent’s praises, and should they decide to take the opportunity up to audition for America’s Got Talent, they’ve got the support of a nation backing them.
