Wenn in Lalaland is coming to the Suidoosterfees

Wenn in Lalaland, a powerful one-man show that combines music, story telling and drama, takes to the stage at Die Suidoosterfees on Friday 29 April.Written, directed and performed by the prolific and versatile Julian Wenn, the 30-minute production takes place from 17:00 to 17:30 at the Artscape Piazza Plesier Tent. Entry is Free. Wenn in Lalaland takes place on any intimate stage. Julian Wenn with his guitar and loop station combines his showmanship to call upon his audience to take a walk through the avenues of his mind, and the way in which he sees the world. Brave yet fearing, strong with a touch of paranoia, he takes them through his life, his work, his time, his love, his confusion; perhaps his dark side which is exposed through jabbing at social qualms through comedic monologues that turn into conscious acoustic musical hymns. The knotted rope with which he has the audience tugging on is wet, slippery, and at times hurts their hands, yet he cannot allow them to let ...

Masa Mara wear Sports Wear Launch 2016

Like you know you're a big deal in the fashion industry when fashionista's, movers and shakers brave the cold to attend your new collection launch on easter Sunday. It all went down earlier this month for the Masa Mara Sports Wear Launch at Creative Nestlings in the heart of the Mother City. Hectic Nine-9's Laurian Nortje Kabongo and Good Hope FM's DJ Kayeezi held it down on the mic. The new collection is African-print sportluxe inspired. It is made up comfortable yet, funky sportswear made up of earthy colours and cool African prints. I'm not really a sportswear kind of girl but this collection really impressed me sooo much! I love it. Being a big fan oof the Masa Mara label, I cannot wait to wear it out and about! Photography by Sivu Javu

All about the 2016 Cape Town International Jazz Festival

2016 Cape Town International Jazz Festival headliner, Angie Stone. The 17th Cape Town International Jazz Festival was definitely one for the books. Compared to last year, it is safe to say that I had too much fun. It's always fun bumping into people you haven't seen in a while, and of course meeting new people adds that extra bit of fun! American singer, Angie Stone falling ill just hours before her performance seemed to have taken it's toll on her. She wasn't the powerhouse singer everyone expected to see. However, she tried her best to pull through and entertained festino's with her new hits and old ones like I Wish I Didn't Miss You Anymore. Highlights on day one was definitely Abigail Kubeka and Dorothy Masuka, who brought back the 50s era with their Marabi-inspired sounds. I also enjoyed Dr. Victor And The Rasta Rebels and American R&B trio, SWV. Favourite's on day two was definitely BadBadNotGood from Canada, who performed a fusion of music ...
