Delivers uplifting South African Music and Performances that help bring magic into people’s lives

Hot Water’s music incorporates elements of traditional South African music (such as kwela, mbaqanga, sakkie-sakkie, maskandi and kwasa kwasa) with folk, blues and indie-pop rock. Southern African music has a natural instinct for celebration and Hot Water’s live performances have a magical way of spontaneously warming any event.

South African singer, song-writer, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, facilitator and band leader, Donovan Copley, has a talent not only for creating uplifting and authentic South African music…he has the knack for bringing together a consistently evolving group of musicians from very diverse backgrounds with an ever-fresh musical result that leaves audiences feeling inspired and proud to be South African.

Donovan raised the roof at our Nandos UK conference…Properly showed our guys what a world class African performance was all about! Respect!! – Rob Brozin – Founder of Nandos
