94.5 Kfm New Year's Eve Concert at Kirstenbosch Gardens Concert
Summer sunset concerts at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens are excellent events to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon in Cape Town
The summer sunset concerts at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens have become excellent events to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon in the Botanical Gardens on the slopes of Cape Town’s Table Mountain.
FRESHLYGROUND & DR VICTOR AND THE RASTA REBELS.
94.5 Kfm and Drostdy-Hof have brought together two of South Africa’s most loved bands for their annual New Year’s Eve concert at Kirstenbosch.
With an appeal that cuts across age and culture, Freshlyground’s rise to the top of the SA music scene has been meteoric.
Their second album 'Nomvula' went double-platinum and their single 'Doo Be Doo' was the most played song of 2005.
Then they made history as the first South African musical act ever to be awarded an MTV award when they were voted 'Best African Act' at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Freshlyground's unique sound defies classification and ranges from up-beat Afro-pop, folk, mbaqanga and jazz to gentle ballads.
One of the busiest bands in the country, Dr Victor and the Rasta Rebels grew up on a diet of American R&B, reggae and traditional African music. Veterans of the local tour circuit, they have also backed such luminaries as Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Lucky Dube, Paul Simon and Tina Turner.
Booking for this concert is essential (booking will close once 5 000 tickets have been sold). Seating is unreserved and on the lawn. Tickets will cost R190 and will be available soon from the Kirstenbosch Ticket Office.
*Please note that the concert will go ahead irrespective of wheather.
