Braamfontein itself declined during the 1990s and early 2000s before undergoing a renewal that transformed it into a creative precinct bordering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wits.ac.za\">Wits University<\/a>, with galleries, design studios, markets and independent cultural spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in July, trumpeter <strong>Sydney Mavundla<\/strong> performed at the venue as part of the ongoing series.<\/p>\n<h2>July lineup<\/h2>\n<p>On Saturday, 18 July, <strong>Linda Sikhakhane<\/strong> returns to the stage where he first led a band nearly a decade ago, when the address was still The Orbit. Now signed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluenote.com\">Blue Note<\/a> \/ Universal Music Africa, the saxophonist and composer will offer an exclusive preview of material from his forthcoming fifth album, <em>LINDA<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, 25 July, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vusi_Mahlasela\">Vusi Mahlasela<\/a><\/strong> will perform. Known as &#8220;The Voice,&#8221; Mahlasela has spent more than three decades performing internationally, with appearances alongside Sting, Paul Simon, Dave Matthews Band, <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/how-miles-davis-shaped-hugh-masekela-and-african-jazz-generations\/\">Hugh Masekela<\/a> and Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo. His set will include songs from his upcoming album, <em>Questions and Answers<\/em>, as well as selections from his catalogue.<\/p>\n<h2>Legacy and continuation<\/h2>\n<p>Spokesperson <strong>Gynis Jardine<\/strong> said: &#8220;One of the reasons this series has resonated with audiences is because people understand the significance of this room. The Orbit played such an important role in <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/abdullah-ibrahim-south-african-jazz-pianist-dies-at-91\/\">South African jazz<\/a>, and we&#8217;re incredibly proud that the music continues to live here.
