What do you get when you combine 30,000 people, 16 South African bands, 12 hours of non-stop music, and 30+ degree-weather? You get a sold out Joburg Day; one of the biggest music events in the country, and a symbol of the freedom and youthfulness of the city of Johannesburg. A sampling of some of the artists we saw: an all-girl folky-band (Blackbyrd), an Afrikaans rapper (Jack Parow), South Africa's own Nickelback (Prime Circle), a one-man-band (Jeremy Loops), the winner of Idols South Africa (Elvis Blue), and an acapulco beat-boxer (Morgan Beatbox). A mixed bag indeed, which attracted a mixed crowd of spectators (and made for some fantastic people watching...); overall a very entertaining day!
