UK-based Zimbabwean artist Busi Mhlanga is set to grace the stage this Saturday, 28 March 2026, at A King’s Legacy, a vibrant cultural celebration taking place at Brecon Barracks in the historic town of Brecon.
The event, supported in part by The Royal Welsh Museum, is more than a performance showcase—it is a rich cultural gathering that honours heritage, identity, and the enduring legacy of African royalty and traditions in the diaspora.
A Cultural Celebration of Legacy
A King’s Legacy is a unique event rooted in the celebration of African kingship, history, and cultural continuity. It brings together artists, cultural ambassadors, and community leaders to reflect on the significance of heritage in shaping modern identity.
With the involvement of figures such as Princess Zamazulu, the event carries a strong symbolic connection to royal lineage and traditional leadership. It serves as a platform to celebrate African pride while fostering cross-cultural exchange in the United Kingdom.

As a self-styled Cultural Ambassador and advocate for heritage preservation, she blends music, dance, and storytelling to create an immersive experience.

“I Am Because Of My Circles”
Audiences can expect a vibrant fusion of Southern African rhythms, traditional dance, and contemporary influences, embodying the spirit of IGIDELAMPHAKATHI—a celebration of inner strength and cultural rootedness.
