Indigenous Voices and Storytellers Vol. 4

Indigenous Voices and Storytellers – An Intimate Series of Concerts Music has always been humanity’s oldest language—a way to share history, pass down wisdom, and gather around the hearth. This September, as part of the official WOMAD Festival Fringe, Curated by KAYA invites you into KAYA HQ for Indigenous Voices and Storytellers, a four-night series of intimate, stripped-back performances celebrating global sonic heritage and local creative excellence. Hosted at our city-center sanctuary at 35 Loop Street, this series strips away the spectacle of massive festival stages to reveal the raw heart of songcraft. Across four rare and unique evenings, acclaimed international artists brought to South Africa by WOMAD will perform up-close, acoustic, and narrative-driven sets. They will share the stage with handpicked local acts from the Curated by KAYA ecosystem, creating an unprecedented cross-pollination of sound, story, and tradition. Lineup: On the lineup for Vol. 4, we have Cheyenne Hill bringing you soulful melodies and raw, bluesy vocals, Forth Form; a collaborative effort of local SA musicians rooted in indie-soul and shaped by the Afro-jazz spirit, Kapowairua with a sound rooted in Māori music, R&B, soul and reggae, she brings together contemporary grooves and carries the voice, stories and spirit of her people into the world, and Arashka & The Shakti Project offering traditional, modern electronic & experimental music; a body of musical and artistic work surrounding the concept of SHAKTI, the feminine power that is at once creative, destructive and regenerative. With strictly limited tickets available per night, Indigenous Voices and Storytellers offers an exclusive, living-room view into world-class artistry. Experience the warmth, the resonance, and the timeless power of storytelling in Cape Town’s home for collaborative creative culture. Please note that this is a hybrid seating/standing show. Seating is allocated on a first-come, first-saved basis.
