The Walvis Bay X-mas music festival not to be missed
Kelly Khumalo and Don Laka to perform in Walvis Bay
If you find yourself at the coast this Christmas, then make sure not to miss the Walvis Bay Xmas music festival on 24 December.
With a crazy line-up by local music giants like Gazza, T-Boss, Staika and Ou Stakes, international acts of legendary jazz artist Don Laka, songstress and TV personality Kelly Khumalo and Noma, the SA idols season 12 winner will also feature.
The organisers said they want to take music back to the people. “There is a habit of organisers inviting international artists for events in Namibia, but they don''t pitch.
“So we decided to bring Don Laka and Kelly Khumalo so you see them and know that they will be here on the day of the event.
“We want to build public trust,” said the organiser, Knowledge Ipinge.
He added that these kinds of festivals will become annual and every year there will be different artists - both local and international.
The music festival is organised in such a manner that everyone will enjoy it as the line-up caters for young and old.
Kelly Khumalo said it is her first time in Namibia and she looks forward to the festival.
“This is my first time in Namibia and I look forward to the show. I don''t really know much about the Namibian music industry, but I hope to collaborate with a Namibian artist from this event,” she said.
She added she looks forward to meeting her Namibian fans and getting to mingle with them.
Don Laka will be vacationing in Namibian whilst also looking for music opportunities.
“I have written a song titled Namibia on my album Poison and I am excited to perform it, come this Christmas,” he said.
Tickets to the show are available at all Computicket for N$150 general access and N$500 for VIP.
