Dr Duda, Mo-T and J'Somthing at the 15 Years of Mi Casa celebration in Sandton, Johannesburg.

The stage was set, the lights created the ambience, the DJ was rocking the decks and the celebratory vibes were in full swing during Mi Casa’s 15th birthday party in Sandton over the weekend.

The exquisite private gathering on the rooftop of the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel was an intimate affair, reserved only for the beloved South African band’s inner circle of family, friends and distinguished figures across music, culture and entertainment who have been part of their journey.

Fifteen years after a chance encounter between three strangers changed South African music, Mi Casa had returned to the very rooftop where it all began.

But despite the jovial festivities, it was the group's – J'Something, Dr Duda and Mo-T's - wildly entertaining and oftentimes emotional address on stage, where they delved into the defining milestones of Mi Casa's decade-and-a-half career, that earned the most significant applause.
