MAKE SOME NOISE

Make Some Noise for change – Freedom in Zimbabwe concerts.

Make Some Noise! concerts for freedom in Zimbabwe will take place on November 6 at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban followed by another concert on November 7 at The Bassline in Johannesburg.

Zimbabwe lurches from hope to despair as initial optimism in the unity government is undermined by ZANU PF’s bad faith. The people of Zimbabwe are crying out for a new constitution, freedom of expression and for their social, economic and human rights. The SADC region needs to act in solidarity with the people of Zimbabwe.

The Cultural Activist Network, Magamba, in partnership with the Zimbabwe Solidarity Forum and LNM Entertainment will take the Make Some Noise! concerts from Durban to Johannesburg in order to build people-to-people solidarity in the region and to maintain a spotlight on the Zimbabwean crisis.

The concert will kick off in front of hundreds of people at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban November 6 at 19h00. Aiming to raise awareness about the plight of Zimbabwean migrants in South Africa, the concert will feature leading Southern African artists who preach change and make people move at the same time! This will include Zimbabwe’s explosive band, Comrade Fatso and Chabvondoka whose music is “undeniably alluring“ (Globe & Mail, Canada.) Despite their heavily political debut album being banned in their own country Comrade Fatso and Chabvondoka have toured extensively, having toured the USA twice this year, sharing the stage with the likes of Sly & Robbie, Anthony B and Knaan. Also representing Zimbabwe will be one of Zimbabwe’s most talented emcees, Oustpoken.

The South African entourage will include: the peerless, heady ’power poet’, Mak Manaka. Tidal Waves – known as “the hardest working reggae band in South Africa”, have toured extensively in Europe, Australia and New Zealand and bring their unique brand of roots/ska with rock fusion. Kwani Experience, Jozi’s gritty yet sophisticated band presents a distinct edge in their attitude, their messages, their look and their funky afro hop sound. The inimitable Zonke makes her debut appearance at Make Some Noise! Zonke is a quality and complete artist who first cut her teeth with Culture Clan, a nine-piece Germany based funk and soul band. Since the release of Life, love 'n Music, she has been burning up the play lists on popular radio stations and continues to wow audiences across Southern Africa. Make Some Noise! resident DJ, the assiduous Kenzhero supplies the tunes all night and Karabo Kgoleng (SA fm) hosts the event.
