Ntsika is making a powerful return to live performance with his 2025 tour, Ntsika Presents: A Place Called Ngoma. This tour, born from an intensified connection with his Ancestors—the very guides who inspired his first, critically acclaimed solo album—promises to be an experience of profound healing. Since that album’s release, the conversations, dreams, and channeling have only deepened, leading Ntsika to yet another sacred collection of songs meant to uplift and renew the spirit. In A Place Called Ngoma, audiences will be immersed in music crafted not only to heal but also to reignite the covenant they hold with God, the Creator.
This divine connection, one that empowers and charges their sacred gifts in this world, will be woven through every song. Through unreleased songs from his forthcoming album and beloved pieces from his first, Ntsika will offer music that strengthens the soul and guides listeners toward inner power: to break generational setbacks, to live purposefully, to find peace in stillness, and to cherish life’s every moment. Every performance will be an invitation to journey through music toward wholeness, presence, and purpose, with Ntsika and his surprise special guest artists bringing soul-stirring magic to each unforgettable evening.
