Africa’s biggest celebration of cultural heritage returns to Newtown on May 28th, with a star-studded celebration that will see some of the continents biggest acts take to the stage to celebrate diversity through unity.
This is the 12th year that Bassline in Newtown has been the backbone of this celebration and this year sees a line up that far surpasses any of the previous concerts, with a strong focus on female empowerment.
Zonke, top South African songstress and producer, Waje, Nigerian superstar, Maleh and The Soil from South Africa, Haya Samir from Egypt and Maya Kamati from Reunion are just some of the popular African female-based acts that will grace the stage. Some heavyweight male peers such as Zimbabwe’s Oliver Mtukudzi, Mali’s Songhoy Blues, Vadou Game from Benin and Nakhane Toure from South Africa will join them, making the line-up a great representation of our diverse and culturally rich continent – and a great night out on the town!
