The
much awaited 5th Annual Ebubeleni Music festival promises to be the
biggest ever music concert in Port Elizabeth by far. New and a bigger venue with very
user-friendly facilities.
“Aldo
Scribante Racetrack is this year’s venue.
We have been looking for Ebubeleni’s home for the past 4 years and
Scribante Racetrack just seems to be what we have been looking for, - plenty of safe parking, massive revellers’ space to picnic
and dance...” said Marc
Mahambehlala, Project Manager of Ebubeleni Music Festival.
The
event will be held at Scribante Racetrack on the 30th of December,
the last [Friday]weekend of 2016. The growth of this festival has seen its
support by revellers, primarily and initially from the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro
increase to a national event status seeing revellers from all over the
country’s nine provinces trek down to Port Elizabeth to enjoy the festival.
What has marked this
event’s uniqueness from the other motley of music festivals around the country
is its family orientated theme, where people bring their picnic baskets, cooler
boxes, camp chairs etc. Another insistence of the organisers is all
inclusiveness of the event wherein all genres across all races are accommodated
in terms of performing artists thus embracing the spirit of togetherness and
social cohesion.
This
year’s line up has been carefully
selected to cater for young and old and it includes Mzansi’s multi-awards
winners Mafikizolo, The Legendary – Tsepo Tshola from Lesotho; seasoned
Xhosa R&B Singer Ringo Madlingozi; American
Vocalist Monique Bingham; American Grammy Award Nominated R&B
and soul singer-songwriter and actress Syleena
Johnson of “I’m Your Woman” fame. Also sharing the stage will be South
African chart toppers appealing mostly, but
not limited to, youth TiMO ODV, Musa ,
Fifi Cooper, Emtee, Babes Wodumo,
DJ’s: SPHEctacula & Naves and Port Elizabeth Born stars, Vusi Nova, Phinda Matlala and NaakMusiQ supported by the very best of Nelson Mandela Bay’s local artists.
