Maftown Heights is a celebration of the Motswako genre and 2013 has been an excellent year of recognition for Motswako artists and their music. 2013 has seen the first ever hip hop album win Album of The Year at the SAMAs (Khuli Chana’s Lost in Time album); Cassper Nyovest’s Gusheshe has received wide mainstream appeal and high rotation on various national radio stations; Lection’s Basadi and Molemi’s Pelonomi have also received great traction since their recent releases. These are just a few highlights of the quality and popularity that music of the Motswako genre has received.
In just a short period of four years, Maftown Heights has grown from an event of 800 people to a concert projected to have an attendance in excess of 4500 people. The event is organized and managed by Dream Team SA. Dream Team SA Director, and Maftown Heights co-founder, Refiloe Ramogase, attributes the reason for the growth to South African’s appetite for quality musical experiences/platforms that pay tribute to home grown African talent. “Our media partners Channel O and YFM have been instrumental in this growth over the last four years and we are grateful for the role the play” shares Refiloe Ramogase.
The event is moving from inside the Bassline venue to outside taking up the Newtown Park to provide a true concert experience. Ticket Information
