Kujenga & Akeeda – Quiet Live 005
26 October @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
R250In order to accomodate our growing events, we’re excited to moving our next Quiet Live to The Wave Theatre off Long Street.
Much like our beloved Avalon Auditorium, this theatre is steeped in history, with great acoustics and comfy seats, a bar and balcony to grab some air between the sets.
And to celebrate the progress, the stars have finally aligned, allowing us to host one of Cape Town’s most exciting acts: Kujenga. As a rising South African jazz act, Kujenga have been instrumental to the revitalisation of Cape Town’s live music scene, with their live show offering an experience as emotional as it is beautiful. They’ll be supported by a fresh discovery for our team, Akeeda who will open the night.
Time: 19:00 for 19:30
Location 44 Long Street, Cape Town
Join us for an evening of exceptional live music as we continue to celebrate creativity and community.
