We Are One Colour Festival Brightens Up Cape Town and Joburg.
The celebration of colour kicked off at the Grand Parade in the Mother City on Human Rights Day this past Friday, the 21st of March. Colour-soaked revellers decorated the air with coloured powder and danced in unity to the sounds of Kanan K7 (BRA), The Skenes, Dean FUEL, James Copeland, Tommy Gun, Plagiarhythm, Floyd Lavine, Mike Play and Chicago’s legendary house DJ, Felix Da Housecat. After waiting with much anticipation, Jozi festival-goers headed to the scenic setting of Emmarentia Dam on Saturday for their turn at the colour phenomenon. The audience jumped and bounced to the electric beats from SA’s top DJ’s such as Penthouse, Michael Lesar, Matt Suttner, Mix n Blend, Maoriginal, Vinny Da Vinci and finally to top it all off, the legend himself, Felix Da Housecat. To up the ante at this year’s WE ARE ONE series, Seed Experiences promised fans a bigger, better and louder colour festival with a FAIRY TALE CARNIVAL theme – transforming the previous white dress code into a mystical expression of fantasy and Mardi Gras colour where revellers let their imaginations run wild. Beautiful masks, striking make-up and flamboyant accessories filled both venues while celebrating the explosions of coloured powder every hour on the hour. With close on 100,000 Facebook fans across both Jo’burg and Cape Town pages, the official festival hashtag #WEAREONESA was trending as the excited festival-goers tweeted their messages, party photos and colourful selfies for the world to see. Adding to the extravagant occasion, Place in the Sun Wines as the official wine sponsor, provided the colourful party-goers with a range of their Fairtrade certified wines to enjoy in a cool tasting zone. Another successful WE ARE ONE Colour Festival, proudly brought to you by Seed Experiences, has left Cape Town and Johannesburg fans soaked in colour and once again, establishing itself as the original colour festival of South Africa.

It’s not the kind of event one can entirely convey in words, so we encourage you to go and see our H20 Africa Photostory to catch a glimpse of the crazy H20 Party… Our journo Elmarie adds to the photos with a sweet summary of the H2O Africa experience of this past weekend : Once again the Beasts from the East topped their game at H2O, Wild Waters Boksburg! I’ve seen this dance party phenomenon evolve and mature like a good red wine over the years. Organisation was thorough. Every detail, from security (the Boeries were out in full force) to squeezing your lemon and to having every talented DJ/musician meet your musical needs, was taken care of, down to the finest making the day extremely comfortable and energizing for all. South Africa! – WOW, what beautiful and interesting creatures emerged from all over the country to share in this festive sun-kissing-mind-blowing-cardio-kicking dance sensation. I’m always thrilled when a plan comes together and seeing people who make an effort to unite all in the name of getting down and dirty on the dance floor. I have two words for H2O: Unfunking Believable! If you didn’t make it this time round, sorry for you…. Dance connects us all, so in 2009, be...
