The festival will feature a variety of musical genres, which play a pivotal role in shaping the country’s musical landscape.
Apart from the rich music history of our country, art, fashion and events that have aroused the evolution of South African urban music culture over the past two decades will also be featured.
Pioneers and unsung heroes who continue to inspire new artists like Moonchild, Sannelly and Stiff Pap will also have a light shone on them.
Jazz music will be on the spotlight on 4 March as a jam session will create a once-off experience for attendees at The Orbit in Braamfontein, with DJ Okapi and Zara Julius closing off the night with a round robin vinyl session.
On 5 March, the Newtown Music Factory (formally known as Bassline) will host a reggae show with Maad Mugo, Jahseed and Admiral.
