PHOTOS: Morafe and Zola give it some bass @ Bassline
Sorry we’re a week late – long story. But here it is – our review of the Bassline gig and the pics that go with it… Thanks Palesa for Representin’! Click here to see our pics of the event and the peeps that attended.
What do you get when you mix kwaito’s super legend and hip hop’s amazing new talent? We…
ll a concert by Zola and Morafe of course!
Two words describe their performance: Crazed fans! Performing to a full house is probably one of the most exhilarating feelings for any musician, but when the fans know every single word and are screaming it out at the top of their lungs- that has got to be even better!
Friday 3 November was the next date for the Edgars Music Series at Bassline in Newtown. MC’s Pabi and Dineo and DJ Nutty Nyce of YFM kept the crowd begging for more.
The supporting acts Slice and the Motherland Funk boys Jozi stole the show as Jozi lit up the stage literally with Crazy Lu smoking what looked like a joint on stage, his band mates however were not going to let him upstage them as Bongani Fassie bust a break-dance move and a great beat box, Da Les killed the crowed with his rendition of the ‘Snap yo Finger’ dance and Ishmael supplied the backing vocals- If you’ve never seen a Jozi performance you have missed out on great stage presence.
Just as the main acts were about to hit the stage Drencko lept out of the backstage in his tight pink suit and his Nik Nak man hairstyle and got everyone hooting with his single Shaya Ama Hoota driving the crowd insane.
This month’s Edgars Music Series definitely did not disappoint and we at Represent look forward to next month’s performances!
=============================================
You know our money is on Morafe as the Next Big Thing in hiphop – these boys from Maftown work so hard, combined with their magnetism and talent, it’s going to happen. Catch them while they’re on the up. Big ups to Edgars for their consistency and persitence in supporting local music. Good job!
Friday 3 November sees Edgars bringing Zola back to the Bassline to lay down the party law at the Edgars Music Series!
Last year, Zola launched his range of custom T-shirts at the Bassline with Edgars and this year, he completes that mission with the accessories and foot wear range. He will be joined on the bill on the 3rd of November by Morafe, Jozi, Slice and DJ Nutty Nyce from Y FM.
No Introduction necessary really!
“We are proud to once again be associated with Zola and his merchandise range.” remarked Enzo Scarcella, Executive Marketing Manager at Edgars “It is important for us to be involved with all aspects of the music business through the Edgars Music Series, so this is an opportunity for us to demonstrate what can be leveraged through the association of music and fashion!”
The Edgars Music Series has gone from strength to strength in 2006, with routinely full houses and some of the best line-ups in the country taking the stage at the Bassline. November will be no different, and just because the year is winding down, it does not mean that the party will get any smaller!
