Wednesday, March 17, 2010

16 days and counting ...

The Cape Town Jazz Festival is called "Africa's Grandest Gathering." No wonder! For two days - April 3rd and 4th - on five stages, thousands of jazz enthusiasts will meet under the magic of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa to hear more than 40 international and local artists -- from 29 yr-old rising sensation Lira....to legend Vusi Mahlasela -- from George Benson with a 28 piece orchestra....to pianist/composer Jason Moran and The Bandwagon.

You can't join the 32,000+ visitors in person? No problem! Check out Africa.com's Radio page during the week of March 29th to hear the artists booked for the Festival. Don't forget to vote for your favorite!

Africa.com Launches Weekly Music Contest – Bringing African Music to Global On-line Audience
Monday, March 15, 2010
Africa is the birthplace of civilization. Anthropologists and geneticists, pouring over fossil evidence, are telling us that modern humans evolved in southern Africa some 200,000 to 100,000 years ago. Today, musicians too are pointing to Africa as a wellspring of civilization, whether the form is hip hop, dancehall, traditional or R&B. Even outside Africa, creativity is being inspired by artists who have experienced the jangle of influences pulsing through the continent.
