March is the second round of Goemarati shows, with performances taking place on Church Square in the Cape Town CBD on Wednesday the 28th of March at 5pm and at the Alliance Francaise in Mitchell's Plain on Saturday the 31st of March at 330pm.
Goemarati is a series of shows taking place in venues across Cape Town City between February and August this year. Once a month on Church Square, below Parliament and behind the NG Kerk in the centre of town, and once a month at a venue on the Cape Flats, including Bonteheuwel, Khayelitsha, Manenberg, Langa, Mitchell's Plain and Kalkfontein. It is a series of concerts about trying to reveal the city in its diversity of music, poetry and food.
This months featured poet is Teba, best known in his regga dancehall form and as The Social Worker. For Goemarati he goes solo and presents his poetry. Great to see him in a difference guise.
The featured band for March is the strikingly bald and bold Blaq Pearl and her five piece band. They're on a soul R&B tip, with all original songs.
Both acts play both shows.Entrance is free.
A food market will be selling not-usually-seen Cape Town foods, at not usually seen prices!
Teba and Blaq Pearl's CDs will be available for sale.
