Shanti Lo will present a powerful, 1930’s to 1969 Al Capone themed ‘jazz musical razzmatazz’.
“I have always, ever since I started my art as a musician, wanted to do music of great jazz artists of our time, I need my fans to see a different side of me. My passion and my zeal for jazz, something really different they have never seen before.
The real hidden me is about to come out,” Shanti Lo said in an interview with Arts & Culture.

His growing brand has accorded him an influential stance in Botswana’s cultural development.
