MCCD, the Musical Collaboration in Cultural Diversity initiative, spearheaded by arts visionaries, Atlas Philani Duma and Rajive Mohan swings into action with a vibrant, cross-cultural, line-up of artists who will share the stage of the Sipho Gumede Hall at Durban’s BAT Centre on 23 September at 7pm.

Duma’s Sagiya Foundation, in partnership with Mohan’s House of Audio and The BAT Centre, see a need to contribute towards the eradication of hatred and political differences that exist among the South African Communities.

“Music and culture have long been a strong tool with tangible results in bringing about social cohesion,” said Duma.

MCCD will feature the Umkhumbane Jazz Ensemble (UJE), the Dilkash group, musical poet, Ntokozo Sngqazu Ngcobo and classical hip hop specialist, Lee Ngamlana.

Tickets are R100 at the door. Pre ticket sales are available at the BAT Centre admin office.
