    Amanda Black, the acclaimed South African songstress known for her powerful vocals and soulful lyrics, will be on at the 1820 Settlers National Monument on 19 September. The concert is part of her current tour “From My Soul to Yours”, and fans are buzzing with excitement for what promises to be a moving and memorable performance.

    The anticipation has been heightened by a recent TikTok video from the artist herself, in which she declared, “come watch me pick up the guitar again”. This simple statement has resonated deeply with her followers, with many expressing their eagerness to see her with the instrument again and others pleading that she “never drop the guitar after”.

    Black’s journey to stardom is well-known, with many of her fans recalling her early days as a contestant on Idols SA. Her incredible talent was evident even then, and her loyal following has been with her every step of the way, from her first performances to her chart-topping hits like “Amazulu” and “Sinazo.”

    Her music has a reputation for being more than just entertainment; it’s a source of comfort and healing for many. As one fan poignantly put it, her music has “healed so many souls” but it does lead to a further question, “who heals the healer?”

    This upcoming concert is not just an opportunity to hear her beautiful voice live, but a chance to witness the next chapter in her artistic evolution as she reconnects with her roots. It’s an event not to be missed for anyone who has been touched by her music and her powerful message of hope and self-love.
