Hathaway is no stranger to our shores, having previously performed at the 2014 Cape Town International Jazz Festival. Performing at the Royal Banquet event on Saturday 30th July, the contemporary, R&B and Jazz singer will serenade guests with a selection of the hits that have made her an international super star.
The Royal Escape Experience is a musical variety experience that will showcase South African music royalty.
Five-time SAMA winners Mi Casa will up the tempo with their music and energetic live performances, while the electrifying, classically trained pop-prepped quartet, The Muses will have guests on their feet.

“Music is in our DNA” said espAfrika's Billy Domingo, “crafting a line-up of artists who complement one another and the overall experience is what we do best, but sharing it with others and seeing them immersed in the enjoyment of the moment, is what we live for.”
The musical offering supports a weekend of golf, pool parties, magical food and beverage pairings, champagne safaris, couture, conversation and a host of exclusive luxury experiences that culminate in the Royal Affair.
