THE IMIBALA UNPLUGGED SESSIONS


The talented Tarynne Swartz and her team at Pachamama productions have done it again. I am proud to officially announce the Imibala Unplugged Sessions which will be taking place 28 July at 51 Sherlock Street Richmond Hill. The event will run from 15:00 until 18:00.

As a lover of live music, I am definitely excited for the event. The event line-up includes talented artists such Tarynne Swarts, Z'afrotronix, The Scheubles, Lora Joplin, African Stars and many more. This is a great platform for local artists as such events are rare to find here in our beautiful Port Elizabeth.


The best thing is that this is not the only gift we can expect from the Imibala team. There will be other musical event during the remainder of the year such as the Imibala Festival (cross cultures/cross colours) which will take place on 24 November 2018. So we should clear our schedule for that day as we at Buzz about Town will definitely be there.


The objective of the unplugged sessions are aligned with the vision of Pachamama Productions which would be to provide a platform for emerging artists and to develop artists that are from disadvantaged areas. It is really refreshing to see artists pulling each other up and believing that the cake is big enough for all the artists in the Bay and beyond. We look forward to seeing you there.

Roundup: ‘Blood Legacy’

The latest release from Gambit Productions ‘Blood Legacy’ has just rightfully earned its spot on the list of the productions that have set the bar amongst this year’s releases with its stellar cast and quality production aesthetic that has had South Africa buzzing with excitement. You know those goosebumps you feel after watching a trailer for an upcoming Netflix or Showmax release, that is what I felt after I watched the trailer for Blood Legacy for the first time. The show which is set in Durban lived up to the standards that were set by the trailer. A great cast is the key ingredient The first aspect of the show that grabs your attention when you watch the first episode is the amazing casting.

Roundup: 2020 SAFTAs

We might be living in a time where unfortunately we cannot gather in public spaces but as they say in show business the show must go on. This is what happened last night as the National Film and Video foundation with the guidance of the Department of Arts & Culture, held a virtual award ceremony which was hosted by the talented Dineo Ranaka. I must say I was rather not pleased with the delayed start, but this can be excused as we have never had to host an awards show in such a manner. The biggest winner of the night was Knuckle City in terms of the awards related to the motion picture category. The feature film is centered around the relationship between a boxer and his deviant brother as they take one more shot at the big time. The night's other big winner was The River which is produced by Tshedza Pictures. The popular telenovela took home 10 awards ,whilst its sister show The Republic took a whopping seven awards which include the coveted Best TV Drama gong. The Ri...
