About the event

Join us for Biko's Manna, the sibling trio and international viral sensation, in their first solo concert in the United States featuring timeless classics and original melody fused with the South African culture and dance!

Comprised of Biko Star (age 17) Manna Hero (age 14) and Tau Lion (age 9), this family band has taken the world by storm! A multi-talented group of musicians, they play guitar, marimba, bass, drums, piano and more and love to dance. Biko's Manna and Mfundo are the 6th generation of the Nokwe legacy mission, a South African family known for their talent and contribution to communities through their family built organization, The Nokwe Creative Development Foundation that houses a home based arts program, Amajika Arts and Life. Amajika was born in 1976 during the apartheid regime, just after the youth of South Africa protested in June 16, 1976, for better education.

Over the past two years, Biko’s Manna's social media presence has expanded with over two million fans in the United States and across the world! Their combination of performing multiple music genres, including jazz and dance, has been celebrated by numerous artists including India Arie, Viola Davis, Timbaland, HER, Sheila E, Kirk Franklin, Jill Scott, Usher and more.

Featuring: Biko Star, Tau Lion, Manna Hero, Ayanda Nhlangothi, and Sebone Bzorobzarabza Rangata | Creative Direction: LeeAnet & Lauretta | Presented by the DC Jazz Festival
