A special feature in this year’s Jazz on the Lake lends itself to the celebration of women and pays tribute to Brenda Fassie’s heritage and memory.
Earlier in the month JAAIF together with Skonyana and Muthaland Productions launched the ‘Can you sing like Mabbr’ talent competition as part of the Brenda Fassie Legacy project.
The contest invited Brenda’s fans to offer an interpretation of one her songs and in the end three acts were chosen as winners.
Black Shoes, African Rhythms and Amakah will perform their winning tunes, which have been recorded and submitted to radio.
Jazz on the Lake takes place at Zoo Lake from 11 am to 5. 30pm and it is free to the public.
