The acclaimed City Hall Sessions music series returns to City Hall with a New Africa Re-Connection Showcase on Sunday 6 October 2013.
Coinciding with the African Creative Economy Conference which takes place in the City from 06 – 09 October, the showcase presents an array of entrepreneurial new African voices, who follow in the steps of the continent’s established names, and are making impact in the region, and globally.
With an emphasis on voice rather than instrumentals, the showcase includes Munit & Jorg, a vocal and guitar duo from Ethiopia, rapper Didier Awadi from Senegal, singer Stewart Sukuma from Mozambique, and Cape Town vocalist Sakhile Moleshe.
As it marks its ninth concert, City Hall Sessions continues to combine the new with the known, playing a cultural role introducing new sounds to local audiences. For most, the appearance on the City Hall stage will be their debut performance at the iconic venue, and for Munit and Jorg, their debut South African visit.
WHEN: show starts at 7.30pm, with a first set where voice is accompanied by guitar. After interval, local showband Hassan’adas up the tempo, providing the groove and backing for some of the continental guests.
WHERE: City Hall, Cape Town.
TICKETS: available at R80 from Webtickets
