Unity and tolerance celebrated at Jo'burg Day Music Festival

On Saturday, this year's edition of Jo'burg Day Music Festival, organised by Highveld 94.7FM, and sponsored by Santam, provided what every South African wants to see in our society. Different artists, from different genres joined in, entertaining fans of different backgrounds, cultures, races and social standings. Amongst these entertainers were HHP, Prime Circle, Jamali, The Parlotones and Flash Republic.

Unfortunately I got there a bit late so I didn't get to see Jamali as I had planned to. I haven't seen them perform live, yet. I enjoyed HHP's set though. He always brings the heat on with his live band. It was amazing and inspiring to see the fans of different creeds singing along and dancing to his music. Prime Circle were awesome too. Overall, the show was great, except for the waiting period between sets, at times lasting longer than the actual performances. I couldn't stay longer because I had to rush to the live broadcast of So You Think You Can Dance, which I will write about in the next post.
