MBABANE – He seems to be always thinking of new innovative ways to keep music
lovers entertained with soulful sounds.
Local afro soul music singer Bholoja Ngubane is already planning for the ‘Yebo
Gogo, Yebo Mzala’ Music Festival 2017.
This year will mark the second edition of the festival which brought the likes
of String Quartet, Vusi Mahlasela, Siphokazi and The Muffins into the country
during its first edition held in October last year.
Promised
Preparations for the festival have already started and the organisers have
promised to see to it that the festival becomes bigger and better than it was in
its first year .
Bholoja confirmed that the festival would be held this year saying music lovers
should prepare themselves for yet another exciting edition of the festival.
“It all started last year and it was a success. We thank all those who made
the festival to be what it was. We had a challenge with the cold and wet weather
last year but we learnt from that small complication and this year we will be
better prepared for any weather condition,” said Bholoja.
Asked if he had confirmed any artists yet, he said it was too early to confirm
the list especially because there are still a number of logistics that need to
be sorted out.
“All I can confirm is that the show will take place as I promised it would be
an annual event. We are still working on confirming the date and venue.
‘‘However, I can say we will be bringing some of the best afro soul and jazz
artists both from Swaziland and South Africa under one roof.”
Updated
He said the public will be updated in good time about the list of artists, venue
and ticket sale prices. This was to ensure that everyone has ample time to
purchase the tickets.
As usual there will be VVIP, VIP  and general tickets  on sale.
“All jazz and afro soul music lovers should keep their eyes and ears on the
media as we will be releasing details soon,” he added.
