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.

The 'revolt' against Beyonce

It is no secret that the release of a Beyonce album whether it is pre-announced or a surprise drop is bound to get the masses talking.The water-cooler talk can be both positive or negative. This is seemingly the case with the upcoming release of the second act, Cowboy Carter in the three act Renaissance series that Beyonce has gifted us with. The alternative album cover. Image via X @ColumbiaRecords The Cowboy Carter album sees the reigning queen of music exploring a genre which is not new within her discography and that is country music. This innovative move has sparked praise and criticism alike. The argument brought forward by the critics, most recently Azealia Banks, who is known for her very outspoken opinion, is that Beyonce is using 'victim mentality' to promote the album and to enter a market that will never embrace her. It can be said that her foray into country music has not been greatly welcomed by the listeners of the genre. This resulted

We are currently on episode 11 of the fourth season and there is much to dissect regarding the happenings of this season. 1. The ladies divided We left the group at the end of season 3 divided between Team Sorisha (Sorisha, Maria, Slee and Annie) and Team Nonku (Nonku & Jojo). The new season introduced three more ladies to the mix of the already divided circle. The new additions easily fitted into the group where most of them naturally gravitated towards the resident Queen B, I mean Sorisha.
