This will be the first time that these celebrated artists will collaborate on the same stage and hails the rise of the Home Brewed culture, which embraces and celebrates local talent, music and products.
Some of South Africa’s best loved, authentically local bands including The Soil, Mafikizolo, The Muffinz and Velaphi Live will come together for the 2016 Home Brewed Music Concert at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena this Sunday, November 6.
This will be the first time that these celebrated artists will collaborate on the same stage and hails the rise of the Home Brewed culture, which embraces and celebrates local talent, music and products.
Fans of the groups are expected to show up in their numbers to catch them live on stage, in the ample sized Big Top Arena.
The evening promises superlative proudly South African entertainment.
In the driver’s seat as the MC, will be well known comedian Donovan Goliath.
The Soil is an award winning group which performs what they describe as ‘Kasi Soul’ – an eclectic mix of musical genres such as jazz, hip hop, Afro-pop and Afro-soul.
Having paid their dues, The Soil are as comfortable at big music festivals and concerts as they are on theatre stages. The Soil have graced the stages of renowned venues such as Apollo theatre (New York), Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Standard Bank Joy of Jazz, Grahamstown’s Arts Festival and Jazz by the River, plus theatrical stages at the Nelson Mandela Theater and Cape Town’s Catalyst Theatre.
Having won 10 SAMAs, eight Metro FM Music Awards, two MAMAs, two international music awards and one Channel O Music Video Award, Mafikizolo is undoubtedly one of the most successful music groups to come out of South Africa. Mafikizolo’s hits include “Meet Me At The River” and “Marabi”.
Hugh Masekela appeared with Mafikizolo in their music video ‘Kwela’.
The music of The Muffinz is so soulful, accessible, honest and innocent that it appeals to people of all ages, races, and classes.
The five young musicians make a refreshing change from the usual ‘run of the mill rappers’ and house DJs, who’re currently dominating the popular music scene – in that they play real instruments and they play them well.
The band switches from a groovy R&B rhythm, led by acoustic guitarist Mthae and bassist Skabz, to a classy jazz guitar sound introduced by electric guitarist and acapella singer, Simz.
The Home Brewed Music Concert will start at 4pm, with the doors to the Big Top opening at 3pm.
