|Published
Johannesburg - After the success of Bassline Fest in December 2021, Bassline has announced Summer, the new annual music event that is set to headline the award-winning musician Samthing Soweto on December 3 at Constitution Hill.
This extravaganza celebrates the end of the year by presenting thrilling activities that music enthusiasts can immerse themselves in.
Having recently released his chart-topping smash hit Amagents, Samkelo Mdolomba, fondly known as Samthing Soweto, has been gracing many stages, giving his fans the full taste of his much-Loved music.
"Right now, I’m trying to make music that feels right and is also guided by my audience. To be honest, I am doing what I always do best. I am a disruptor. I study the machine and use my voice and writing to make it more beautiful to as many people as possible," said Samthing Soweto.
Bassline Live’s Brad Holmes also commented: “Bassline Summer celebrates the end of the year; a time to have fun and let go, with the best of Mzansi talent, from our most shining stars to our rising stars in the making. This year, Bassline Summer falls as part of Johannesburg’s annual Arts Alive Festival."
The City of Joburg, through the Arts Alive International Arts Festival and other initiatives, said it continues to support the creative sector and expand its reach and impact through partnerships.
In celebration of the 30th edition of the Arts Alive International Festival 2022, the Arts Alive Festival will present a variety of artistic programmes featuring artists from various sectors of the creative industries through cultural activities, which include music, fashion, craft, comedy, dance, theatre, visual art and cultural educational workshops.
There will also be an intimate curated craft market called the Creative Uprising Market, which is an artisanal pop-up market that showcases the talent of local artists, makers, and unique small businesses who create handmade goods and original artwork with a story.
This year, the Bassline is supporting the development of our Mzansi rising stars in the making, by putting out a call for two female artist-lead bands to apply to get on the bill.
The artists will submit their applications via the Bassline website contact page http://bassline.co.za/about-us/ and be chosen by a panel of music experts.
Industry at large, the Bassline will be giving the artists performing and the technical trainees on the fest production one-year usage of the Bassline Music Biz Essentials, online masterclasses, where they can hear It from the pros, with a series of online videos covering the essentials of the live music business, straight from the industry pros.
