South African singer songwriter Black Porcelain has been chosen to support internationally renowned dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson, who is touring with the fabulous Dennis Bovell Dub Band, on the Cape Town leg of his tour. This is a major feat for rising star Black Porcelain, who independently released her eclectic 5 track EP Green last year. Green was very well received across the country, receiving airplay on national, regional and campus radio stations alike.
Black Porcelain kicked off the year with an inspiring performance at the 2009 Women's Show at the CTICC and is now currently working on her first full length album. Born and raised in Soweto, this tireless singer is very excited to be opening for such a respected artist "I was a little shocked initially, but now I'm so excited. I can't wait to warm the stage for and share it with LKJ."
The Linton Kwesi Johnson show in Cape Town takes place on the 1st of May in Wynberg at Maynardville. He will also be performing in Johannesburg, Durban and Grahamstown.
Tickets are available from computicket.
