Exciting female acts to take the stage will be artists such as Zonke, South African singer and producer, Waje, Nigerian superstar, Maleh and The Soil from South Africa, Hagar from Egypt and Maya Kamaty from Reunion.
Male artists will include artists such as Zimbabwe’s Oliver Mtukudzi, Mali’s Songhoy Blues, Vaudou Game from Togo and Nakhane Toure from South Africa will join them.
The line up has been put together in order to represent a cross section of the rich African culture on our continent. What is more, you will get to experience this one of a kind unity all the while having a fun night out.
Award winning dance company MIDM (Moving Into Dance Mophatong) will be accompanying selected acts on stage and will also launch the ‘Jaiva Afrika’; an African party dance derived from dance moves from Togo, Nigeria, Gabon and Zimbabwe. All of this will include a signature move from Zimbabwean legend Oliver Mtukudzi, this dance is intended to get everyone involved and unify the audience with song and movement.
