Ekurhuleni to host drum beat concert

Toyota, in association with Hilltop Live Productions, Amstel Lager and Media24, will present the DRUM Beat Ekurhuleni on 1 and 2 June 2012 at Birchwood Hotel & Conference Centre in Ekurhuleni.

The inaugural DRUM Beat concert held at Mofolo Park, Soweto, in April 2011 was a family-friendly music spectacle. This year the festival moves to the City of Ekurhuleni and will be a bigger and more exciting musical experience.

DRUM Beat Ekurhuleni will showcase prominent cross-genre artists on the main stage, jazz stage and piano lounge. The programme will be predominately jazz-oriented with a twist of Afro-pop and dance music. Confirmed appearances include Lira, Sibongile Khumalo, Asanda Bam and Trio (Steve Kekana, Babsy Mlangeni and Joe Nina). The names of other artists will soon be announced.

The event is only open to persons over the age of 18 years and tickets are available at www.ticketbreak.co.za.
