AFREEFEST is a 24-hour free-to-view online music festival
AFREEFEST is a 24-hour free-to-view music festival and in the spirit of Ubuntu and Freedom of expression, dozens of musicians and DJs from around the world are pledging their 67-minutes to spreading a message of hope, freedom, resilience, and unity.
These musicians and DJs include a veritable rainbow of world-renowned musicians including locals Themba, Qadasi & Maqhinga, Abby Nurock, Sibusile Xaba and Black Picket Fence.
International musicians John Fairhurst (UK), My Baby (Netherlands) and more who will be a part of the festival.
Inspired by the African term of ‘Ubuntu’ meaning “humanity” and “I am because we are”, AFREEFEST is a platform that was created to share cultural experiences in art, music, and creativity.
Power to the people
The festival is powered by people who inspire change and as part of the festival’s mission, to inspire all, each of the performing musicians will share a personal 67-second message of inspiration to the world, a world that is in need of wisdom and togetherness during this turbulent period.
“2020 is proving to be a year of difficulty for many of us, it is also a year that is seeing a lot of change both positive and negative.
“The festival that was created to give fans of music, art and creativity a space in which they can pause, breathe and connect with themselves and others,” say the AFREEFEST festival organisers.
The festival will go online on Mandela Day, 18 July from 00:01 AM (CAT – Central African Time) till 23:59 PM and will be aired on AFREEFEST, SkyRoomLive and the SkyRoomLive Facebook page.
