In true Basha style, the Basha Uhuru Freedom Festival culminated on October 29th with the Sounds of Freedom Music Festival.
Commemorating its 10-year anniversary, and fired up by long-term partner Nando’s, the festival ran from 25 – 29 October at Constitution Hill.
Jam-packed with everything fun and entertaining, the Festival included a full line-up of creative workshops, immersions, experiences and performances.

There were also performances by the Nandoca Uhurus who form part of the Nando’s internal music talent development programme. This year they will receive mentorship from Msaki and Bonga Kwana – not only to perform on the main stage, but attend all the music workshops and panel discussions to help nurture and develop their talents.
