A further 12 African and overseas artists have been
confirmed for this year’s festival on the 30th and 31st of March 2007. The
12 names join the initial line-up of 22-groups announced in January. A
total of 40-acts will perform over the two days on five stages at the Cape
Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).
Select bands will also perform at the Free Community Concert
to be held at Cape Town’s Greenmarket Square on Thursday 29 March. The
pre-festival concert has become a permanent feature of the Cape Town
International Jazz Festival and is the organisers’ commitment to community
members who cannot make it to the paid sessions of the event.
The 12 latest artists announced are: Leela James (US), Gino
Vannelli (Canada), Average White Band (US and Scotland), Themba Mkhize (RSA),
Darius Brubeck & the SAPO/UKZN Rolling Reunion Band (RSA and US), Ernest
Mothle Quartet (RSA), Saskia Laroo (Holland), Hip Hop Pantsula (RSA), The
Stoner (Sweden), Closet Snare (RSA), Yehya Khalil & the Egyptian Jazz
Fusion (Egypt) and Bheki Khoza (RSA)
