Zakifo Musik Festival

Zakifo Musik Festival

Date: 2016-04-15
The second annual Zakifo Musik Festival, Durban - features one of the most eclectic, multi-genre music line-ups ever gathered together in one festival programme - boasting some of the finest music-makers from France, Reunion, Mozambique, USA, Mali, Ghana, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and South Africa - comes to Durban at the site of the old Natal Command opposite Battery Beach, for two days only, on 27 and 28 May, 2016.

Surrounding the festival, there will be a host of satellite fringe events, workshops, couch-sessions, industry engagements and jams, including a closing concert at the Rainbow on Sunday 29 May 2016.

There is an early-bird special offer of a weekend pass for just R200, running from 6 to 15 April 2016. By buying an early-bird or a full-weekend pre-sale, one will qualify to enter Zakifo's competition to win a trip to Reunion Island, to attend sister festival Sakifo, the week following Zakifo! Terms and conditions apply.

This year Zakifo has hand-picked a phenomenal array of global music-makers to create a watershed programme for Durban. Following on from the precedent set last year, the focus on strong female artists continues at the festival this year - Zakifo 2016 will be staging some of ßthe most outspoken, innovative, boundary-defying women performers active in the global music industry today, such as: 27 year-old Canadian singer Cold Specks, whose innovative music has been described as doom-soul; EstereDalton has been compared to the likes of Erykah Badu and is a songwriter and beat-maker, hailing from New Zealandwho plays/records a mixture of bass, synth, drums, guitar, vocal harmonies, keyboard, whistles, claps and kazoo; Inna Bocoum, known on stage as Inna Modja, is a genre-shifting Malian singer / rapper and model. Maya Kamaty has been dubbed the new, hypnotic voice of Reunion's modern Maloya and Sega traditions.
