The 12-hour non-stop music blitz goes on at Ubuntu Kraal, Soweto on May 10, four-days after National Elections. It starts from 12pm until late. Kalawa records spear-headed by local genius such as Oskido, Bruce, Spikiri and others, were recently honoured by the South African Music Awards committee for their role in the emancipation and development of local music in the country for over 20 year’s. Kalawa stands for – Laka/Mdlongwa and Jazmee (Jairus, Zynee, Mandla, Eugene and Emmanuel). Oskido once declared “we’ve been overlooked by the SAMA’s” which prompted a national cry from the country.
