Blending the distinctive sounds of four musical genres and showcasing the talents of the country’s greatest artists, Hennessy Cognac proudly presents Hennessy Artistry – an exclusive, star-studded concert featuring hip hop phenomenon HHP, seductive songstress Lira, and indie rock and electro pop outfits, Voodoo Child and Zebra & Giraffe. Headlined by imitable MC, Tbos, Hennessy Artistry will see these four diverse performing artists all share one stage as they attempt to create a new, uniquely South African sound – a local expression of the international Artistry mix.

Scheduled for 11 September at Moloko nightclub in Rosebank, Johannesburg, Hennessy Artistry South Africa should provide a night of cutting-edge, incredible entertainment with a musical collaboration never before seen on the South African stage. This concert will also form part of the global Hennessy Artistry campaign, culminating in a dazzling event in New York City, headlined by hip hop superstar and acclaimed producer, Ne-Yo.

A fusion of dramatically different, yet complementary genres, Hennessy Artistry brings together the finest of Cognacs and the most innovative musical talents to create an unforgettable evening of true indulgence.
