Here, the energy of Braamfontein meets the soul of Hugh Masekela. It is where lineage becomes present tense; where the sound of a horn that once carried through struggle and celebration finds new voice. Every detail speaks of care, from the acoustics that will hold the room in stillness to the intimacy bound to draw strangers into communion.

About the venue.
This welcoming French café in Maboneng was inspired by the café culture found in the artsy Latin Quarter of Paris where its two genial French-Congolese owners lived before moving to Joburg. There's a basic French café menu, jazz on the stereo, good coffee and wine (the all-important Parisian essentials) plus plenty of tables on the pavement for enjoying Maboneng colorful streetlife." The space is exciting with a lot of things to admire, there is a live music room with a stage.

The Sawubona Music Jam, like most other music venues/events in Soweto, is hard to describe. It’s not a bar or a club; it’s a residential house, owned by a Soweto musician named Lucky Thobela, that has been kitted out for live music and hosting musical acts for many years. (I heard someone say it’s been around for about 15 years.) Like pretty much every musical gig I’ve been to in Soweto — which has one of the most vibrant music scenes in the world

The Black Power Station® is a social entrepreneurial space for the expression of art, music and thought, inspired by the black consciousness ideology of Steve Biko. It is a response to a conversation about “business beyond the national art festival” started in 2011 by Xolile Madinda and fellow artists in Fingo village. ZIMKITA LINYANA reports.
Xolile Madinda, a Makhanda native, is the founder and CEO of The Black Power Station®. The venue was birthed inside a literal power station – the old power station – which used to serve only one side of town during the dark days of the apartheid regime.
It is located in what is now known as the industrial area on Rautenbach Road, on the edge of Makhanda. Madinda says that according to stories told by his elders, the site used to be a village where people lived before it became an industrial area.
