Morena Leraba Featured On The 7th edition of the Fête de La Musique by The Alliance Française of Johannesburg, the French Institute of South Africa (IFAS), and Bassline Live in partnership with the Market Theatre Foundation. The Fête de La Musique is the iconic global celebration of music that annually warms winter calendars in Johannesburg and celebrates the universal language of music!
Morena Leraba is a shepherd from the mountains of Lesotho who fuses his homegrown traditional Famo inspired vocals with electronic dance, reggae, hip-hop and everything in between. Meshing cultures and sounds from far and wide to create a truly unique sonic experience with producers and collaborations around the world.
With a countrywide application process having been underway for the past two months, 6 stages will now be filled with the best in professional and amateur musicians and bands, all encouraged to perform, entertain, express themselves, and continue generating music for future generations.
In previous years, up to 8000 people have gathered in the Newtown Junction to be part of the Fête de la Musique experience – and the numbers are estimated to climb this year with the addition of two new music stages. These 5 open-air and 1 indoor stages will offer styles to cater for every taste and genre of music, including certain French and international acts. It is a fun, safe and exciting atmosphere that brings communities together between 11am and 7pm. With over 2000 safe parking bays, restaurants and bars, one can make the most of this free music event.
We are very proud and grateful to announce that once again, Total South Africa is supporting this event. The Fête de la Musique is part of their heritage portfolio which is dedicated to supporting and advancing the cultural and artistic endeavour across multiple disciplines.
Nyameka Makonya, CSI Manager of Total was quoted as saying, “Total South Africa is excited to, once again, be a partner in bringing French and South African culture together at this unique event. As a French business operating in South Africa, it is essential to support events that unify our heritage and demonstrate the opportunities that our commitment and collaboration in the arts creates for all South Africans.”
