Mahindra Fusion Fest – An event like no other!

Posted on by

The inaugural Mahindra Fusion Fest was one for the history books, blurring the lines between art, music, and fashion to create an explosion of artistry like no other. Our hostess with the mostess, Moozlie, effortlessly conducted the entire show, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable night for all in attendance.

The evening kicked off with a breathtaking opening ceremony led by South African poet Puno Selesho, beautifully fusing South African culture with elegance and a touch of surprise. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the main event took things up a notch.

Taking the stage first were Aymos, Sipho ‘Hotstix’ Mabuse, and Kamo Mphela, who delivered a medley of their biggest hits. From Isgubhu and Burn Out to Dalie and Shikisha, the fusion stage had everyone singing and dancing non-stop! Little did we know, this was just the tip of the fusion iceberg.

The next performance was arguably the most unexpected of the night: Tarryn Lamb, Matthew Mole, and Sjava joined forces and genres to present an artistic work we didn’t even know we needed, with the standout moment being their special rendition of Sayona by Inkabi Zezwe – a rendition I hope they get to record in future.

As the energy peaked, the festival seamlessly transitioned from Coachella vibes to Paris Fashion Week. Acclaimed designer Thula Sindi showcased his Discover The X collection, while Keneilwe Khobo, the winner of the Mahindra Fashion Young Designer Competition, unveiled her winning design.

With palates cleansed, the audience was ready for more music. MiCasa, K.O., and Young Stunna took us on a nostalgic journey, performing hits like Jika, Skanda Love, and Adiwele, to name a few.

The grand finale was nothing short of spectacular. Die Radio Kalahari Orkes and Zandile Mzazi delivered unforgettable performances before Mufasa himself, Cassper Nyovest, took to the stage to SHUT IT DOWN!

The Mahindra Fusion Fest delivered a lineup stacked to the brim—serving up an experience that the audience devoured!
