Dialling up the fun to 11 with a few of Mzansi’s hottest live acts
When it’s time to burn off all the calories, the live acts at Summer in the City Unplugged will enable eventgoers to do just that. Again, a number of acts will be on board to cater to varying tastes, including an opening acoustic set from Simone Govender, who will take the audience on a musical trip across genres, generations, and geographies from smooth local jazz hits from the ‘70s and ‘80s, as well as reggae, soul, chill, world, and trip-hop being listed amongst her repertoires.
Africa Soul specialises in breathing new life into pure soul and blues classics. The group takes songs from the ‘50s/’60s era of Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding and other icons of the time, giving those ‘old’ classics a ‘modern’ rebirth.
Another headline act is Karma Luna, whose sound is a melting pot of musical influences ranging from ambient pop to trap, resulting in a unique and striking auditory experience.
