The Bassline music venue in Johannesburg, in association with Goodbye Malaria, will host a Mozambique-themed pyjama party on 5 September to celebrate 21 years as a leader in the world of South African live music.
The event, fired up by Nandos, TRACE Urban and Kaya FM, will showcase some of the finest talent in South Africa and Mozambique, including local house sensation Micasa; the Princess of Africa, Yvonne Chaka Chaka; Cape Town band, Hot Water; and leading comedian Deep Fried Man; as well as some spectacular surprise guests.
Micasa will take their fusion house music to Bassline for the first time, during this springtime pyjama fiesta.
Goodbye Malaria, leading activists in the eradication of malaria, aim to make the people of the continent aware of the severity of the malaria situation in Africa, particularly in the Mozambican territory.
There are precautions that everyone can take to safeguard each family from the malaria epidemic. With bi-annual home spraying, millions of lives can be protected from what is one of the easiest diseases to prevent.
Increased prevention and control measures can lead to a reduction in malaria mortality rates and, unfortunately, it is the poorest countries that are still worst affected.
Goodbye Malaria aims to make a dent in mortality figures through positive activism – such as the sale of their funky shweshwe pyjama trousers available online as well as on the night of this event.
Bassline is encouraging the entire country to join them for a star-studded night of music, dance and food as they attempt to eradicate malaria by joining together to make a difference.
Bassline will donate 75 percent of the event’s proceeds to this urgent cause and all contributions will make a difference.
