Free suave live music festival to mark Day of Reconciliation
Enjoy a day of great music.
Music lovers in Ekurhuleni can look forward to an afternoon of serenading, smooth sounds from the most exciting unsigned live bands, on December 16, all without having to pay a cent, courtesy of Puisano Live Music showcases.
The family picnic-style music festival will take place at the OR Tambo Cultural Precinct, in Wattville, on the Day of Reconciliation, from 2pm.
The event will feature an array of talented bands currently touring the province in music showcases hosted at different venues, through the Puisano Live Music programme, an endeavour of the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation.
Bands that are slated to entertain will include CJ and Friends, Native 2120, Mkizwana Quintet and the explosive talents of the vintage Kevin Maduna Quintet.
A number of local bands will also feature, including the talents of Wattville’s own Black Mok.
The music extravaganza is a partnership between the department and the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.
The Puisano Live Music programme is aimed at promoting live music shows within communities and intends to develop a culture of appreciating live performances, especially in townships.
Entrance to the event is free.
Cooler boxes will be allowed, however, bottles and weapons are prohibited from the venue.
