This Labor Day, jazz lovers won’t be gassing up the family SUV or “staycationing” on their couches with a sack of Cheetos and “Kind of Blue” on repeat. They’ll be at the Joy of Jazz Festival, a relatively new South African concert series taking place in Johannesburg August 28-30.
The location of the festival makes it a promising spot to host artists from both East and West, from Japanese pianist Keiko Matsui to Spanish-Afro-Cuban outfit Seda Jazz. If you’ve never heard Xhosa-language songs, the August 30 concert by local talent Camagwini is a must–and a relative steal at R250 (about $32).
If you can arrive and shake off the jet lag by the 28, you can even sit in on a performance workshop hosted by one of the featured musicians!
