Soweto locals ‘Soulistic Fusion Trio’ proved their moves on stage and took the trophy for 2015 Red Bull Beat Battle. This fireworks show took place this past Saturday at Walter Sisulu Square in Soweto and the ‘Soulistic Fusion Trio’ saw their way to the final leg to battle against Cape Town B-Boys, Ninja Turtles.
The Sbhujwa crew went up against seven of the best dance crews from the past four installments of Red Bull Beat Battle and were the only crew in the semi-finals to not have won the title before.
The event again celebrated local street dance from B-Boying to Pantsula and everything in between – each crew bringing their own unique flavour to the competition and lighting up the impressive stage.
The rich history of the event and calibre of dancers meant the judging panel of Somizi Mhlongo, Lorna Maseko, Vouks and new addition to the panel, Lorcia Cooper, were mesmerized by their talent.
As the night rolled out, stellar performances by Kat la Kat, DJ Switch, Sibot, DJ Speedsta and more, served as a perfect pinnacle to the end of this celebration of South African dance and music culture.
