Her unique sound, blending Afro House and neo-soul, resonated deeply with the crowd. “Her voice is something else,” said Thapelo, an audience member who watched Simmy’s performance from the front row.
“It feels like she is singing directly to you, and that connection is rare in live shows,” she said. Simmy’s performance was followed by Blaq Diamond, the award-winning Afro Pop duo known for their catchy songs and energetic stage performances. From the moment they stepped onto the stage, they brought an infectious energy that quickly spread through the crowd. Starting with their hit song, “Ibhanoyi,” the duo had fans singing along enthusiastically, and the energy only grew as they performed “Love Letter” and other popular tracks. “These guys know how to get a crowd moving,” said Mpho, a local fan who joined the event specifically to experience Blaq Diamond live. The chemistry between the duo, Ndumiso Mdletshe and Sphelele Dunywa, was evident throughout their performance. Their ability to connect with the audience was a highlight for many.
“They have such great synergy and know how to work the crowd,” commented Keitumetse, a student attending the event with friends. “It’s clear they love what they do, and that makes their music even more enjoyable for us as fans,” said Mpho. Aside from the music, Letetsi on Fleek offered more than just a concert. It was an experience where attendees connected through shared interests in fashion and heritage. Local fashionistas took to the event dressed in leteisi-inspired outfits, adding a visual spectacle to the musical experience. “The combination of music and culture is perfect,” said Dineo, an attendee dressed in a modernised leteisi dress. “They gave us more than a concert; they gave us an experience that feels rooted in our identity.” The event highlighted Colourful People Entertainment’s mission to promote both music and culture.
