Top local acts are performing at the Eldos
Jazz Festival, which will also feature Jamaican reggae musician, Etana.
JAZZ, hip-hop, reggae and fun in the sun -
and all for free at the Eldos Jazz Festival.
Trudie Mackaye will be performing with guitar maestro Selaelo Selota and Bianca le Grange
The annual concert, which usually attracts
hundreds of revellers both young and old, will take place on Sunday, 27 September
from noon to 6pm at Kremetart
Park in Eldorado Park Extension
3.
"The Eldos Jazz Festival provides a
platform for aspiring artists to share the stage with more established
artists," says the festival co-ordinator, Berenice le Grange.
This year's line up includes artists such
as Julius Schultz, Mr Keyz, Bryce Anderson and Anonymous. Contemporary dancer
Juliana as well as hip-hop dance groups Besupreme and Music Mayday SA Xplore, a
combination of Dutch and South African dancers, will also perform.
Guitar maestro Selaelo Selota, Bianca le
Grange and Trudie Mackaye will perform as a trio, while Jamaican reggae musician
Etana will be performing for the first time at the Eldos Jazz Festival.
For the past three years, the concert has
been part of the City's Arts Alive, a month-long fiesta of music, dance,
theatre and visual art. Le Grange believes the Eldos Jazz Festival's association
with Arts Alive is mutually beneficial, and gives the festival a chance to
identify itself with big brands and initiatives such as Arts Alive.
As a proudly South African brand, the Eldos
Jazz Festival is committed to the upliftment of "this beautiful country and
allows individuals to celebrate the country's arts and culture".
Alcohol will not be allowed at the concert,
but there will be a beer garden and kiosk, and vendors will sell food.
Security measures will be strict: no alcohol,
drugs or any dangerous weapons and plastic cups and bottles only. Secure
parking will be available at Boekenhout
Primary School for R10 a
vehicle.
