Show
World class performers set the stage for a spectacular evening of entertainment.
Freshlyground
Headline Act
Freshlyground adds violin and flute to the familiar band instrumentation of bass, drums, keys and guitar, and sometimes throws in the mbira, a traditional African "thumb piano" and sax. So typical of African groups, their dance routines are loosely choreographed to allow space for spontaneity, which comes with live-wire energy. "Forget about your destiny, get off your feet and live!" the lead singer Zolani sings, and she knows exactly how to make an audience go wild.
Sterling EQ
Sterling EQ was formed in May 2007 and has become one of the South Africa's most sought after new groups, having performed at high profile events like the Shoprite Checkers Woman of the Year Awards and the Dimension Data Pro Am 2008, as well as corporate events for companies such as ABSA, Hollard, Standard Bank, BMW, Maserati and many more.
Following in the footsteps of Vanessa Mae and BOND, Sterling EQ adds another dimension by including the electric flute. As with these international acts, the repertoire makes reference to Classical themes, however, Sterling boasts a world-first in this genre by adding a specifically South African flavour.
