Trade fair attracts top entertainment talent
Come get your 'juice back' at the trade fair
FROM rock, pop, hip hop to the best of Bollywood music, visitors to this year’s Zululand Trade Fair which runs from 24 to 25 June will certainly find something to suit their entertainment tastes.
Richard Stirton, the first winner of The Voice SA, is the headline act on the Friday night and will perform in the Entertainment Marquee at 8pm, followed by local deejay sensation, Nivaadh Singh, entertaining the crowds from 9pm to midnight.
On Saturday, 25 June, the entertainment marquee will once again host a line-up of top entertainment, kicking off with a rock concert at 1pm, followed by homegrown maskandi musician David Jenkins.
Jenkins, also known as Qadasi, meaning ‘white person’ in isiZulu, is an accomplished maskandi musician who developed a deep passion for Zulu culture and music at a young age, growing up in Empangeni.
Now based in Durban, he is following his dream of being a professional maskandi artist and is proud to be a SAMA (South African Music Award) and two-time SATMA (South African Traditional Music Achievement) award nominee.
South African hip hop musician, songwriter and record producer Nasty C will take the stage at 2pm. He is most known for the single ‘Way It Go’ by DJ Switch featuring Tumi and Youngsta, as well as the well-received remix to his single ‘Juice Back’, which features Davido and Cassper Nyovest.
Saturday afternoon from 4pm is Bollywood Nite at the trade fair where Pinky Mothie and Big M productions will be showcasing the talents of the Afrofusion cast who will perform alongside the King of Entertainment, Rajiv Mothie.
Adding some vibrant colourful action to the night-time entertainment is the free fireworks display at 8.30pm which will be dazzling, but without the big bang.
It will be followed by the smoking hot drummers of 1st Project taking to the stage at 9pm.
They have captivated audiences around the world with their unique musical style, passion and vigour.
Entry for the Zululand Trade Fair is R80 for adults and R40 for children, while family passes cost R200 for two adults and two children.
