2nd Annual Sumthin Brown 10-hour Show

ABOUT

Sumthin Brown presents another installment of the Sumthin Brown 10-hour Show during which she will be on the 1s and 2s for 10 hours playing across different formats, genres, moods and swings to stretch her musical agility and growth a little further since starting. From Hop to Jazz to Boogie & Dub, she leaves no stone unturned to give you an artistic and musically rich experience like no other at Railways Café (Theatre), a space where music meets art, meets craft, meets nature, meets other.

Additionally, the show includes 3 photography exhibitions, 3 visual art exhibitions, a live performance by Pheli-based African floetrist, Ms Charz De SoulSista, board games, a record/vinyl fair, a free live audio broadcast of the sonic part of the show on Globalize Yourself Stereo through their online platform, www.gys-africa.live, as well as the launch of Sumthin Brown's first book titled Music & Musings. The audio broadcast will begin at 12 midday and run throughout the day until 11pm at night.

Globalize Yourself Stereo is a globally available online radio station conceived out of Cape Town and now operating in Johannesburg with branches in Vienna, Warsaw, Derby, and Singapore - "a global ambition meeting a global agenda".

Ms Charz De SoulSista (real name Charlotte Mokoka) is from a small township called Atterigeville in Pretoria, South Africa. A Poet, Writer, Actor, Radio Host and an MC, she discovered her artistic flair in 2008 when she was still in high school. In pursuit of her dream of becoming a performing artist, she later furthered her studies at the South African State Theatre in 2015 as well as at the Joburg Theatre, Duma Ndlovu Actors Academy, in 2019. Over the years, Ms Charz De SoulSista has traveled across Africa doing intercultural programs in places like Cape Town, Rwanda to Ghana, and has performed at much-loved events in Gauteng including Black Labone, Market@thesheds, Sawubona Music Jam, and Home Lounge. Her work has been heard by many, and protests to black South African people through her style of writing and the use of indigenous languages like Sepedi and IsiZulu, as well as English from time to time. She is passionate about storytelling and that’s the uniqueness she brings in her style of poetry and music. Her biggest independent project thus far is an annual kasi tour project through which she contributes her time and talents to different kasi communities through collaborative events. It's called De SoulSista Kasi Tour.

She has performed at more than ten stages across South Africa including the National Arts Festival through their Standard Bank Standing Innovation award-winning play by Nelson Mokoena-1606. She has also worked with Ntsiki Mazwai on her project, The Masterpiece, as a host from 2018 to 2019. She has performed on the PDOTO album launch, Under The Sun, at The South African State Theatre. SoulSista is currently working on her African Floetric sound. Her music is a six-piece band that includes drums, bass guitar, keys, a backup vocalist, a dancer, and a rain-shaker coupled with poetry.
