Line-up announced for Nubian Music Festival
The Nubian Music Festival, one of SA’s biggest annual cultural festivals, will be taking place from December 13 to December 16, 2019, at the Eagle Waters Wildlife Resort, on the banks of the scenic Hartbeespoort Dam in the North West province.
The festival is a fusion of music and food and aims to bring family and friends together.
“It’s about showcasing the cuisine of this country,” said Mpho Mathope, founder and organiser of the festival. “I wanted it to be a weekend festivity and getaway, for people, friends and family to get together.”
“Hosting this festival is close to my heart. I’ve always loved spending time with my family and bringing people together. When I noticed a lack of family-friendly festivals, I started my own festival in order to accommodate people who wanted to spend a fun-filled weekend away with their families in a safe and scenic environment.”
This year sees House of BNG as one of the main sponsors of the event.
Award-winning acts Lira, Mi Casa, Thandiswa Mazwai, Judith Sephuma, Ringo Madlingozi, Amanda Black, Mafikizolo and The Soil, have been announced as the official line-up for the festival.
“When you think Nubian, you think Africa, celebrating our roots and our continent’s amazing potential. I’m proud to be part of such a unique festival that celebrates Africa, including performing alongside an incredible calibre of musicians. I can’t wait until we all come together and experience what I believe will be a joyous moment,” said The Soil’s Buhlebendalo Mda.
