Discover the many rhythms of the human body! Gumboot dancing is a century old tradition, which originated during the mining era of Johannesburg, South Africa. Miners communicated with each other by slapping their boots and stomping their feet while drilling and digging hundreds of metres below the surface. Back at the township they used this technique to entertain each other, giving birth to the gumboot dance. Dancers wearing gumboots, create rhythms by slapping boots and bodies, using voices and stamping their feet. Creating a visual rhythm that is both rhythmically unique and powerful.

Explore our musicians bookings to find the perfect talent that will elevate your event to the next level < Back ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in Select a date First Name Last Name Email Company Phone Submit Event details Ofentse Pitse Gauteng Ofentse Pitse is the youngest African woman orchestra owner, conductor, classical music arranger, producer, musician and curator of intimate musically inspired/influenced spaces and experiences. Pitse was inspired and raised to revere education by her mother and grandmother. Education has continued to be a core value and practice for Ofentse, who graduated with her Master of Architecture from the University Of The Witwatersrand in honor of her late mother, Pearl Matshidiso Pitse. A lover of all things art, Africa, and people, Ofentse has managed to masterfully create a brand that truly reflects her core values, character, people and heart - all of which are vital ingredients for a history-making change agent and rising influential cultural voice and a key player in the orchestral world. Born and raised in the City of Tshwane, it was in the vibrant streets of South Africa’s capital city that Ofentse first discovered and developed her deep love for music. With a family active in the Salvation Army, Ofentse soon found her way to its famous brass band, where she learned to play the English horn, trumpet, flugelhorn and cornet. As her skill improved, so did her range, and she expanded her repertoire from gospel music to classical and jazz. Under the mentorship and tutelage of two of the country’s leading conductors, Thami Zungu and Gerben Grooten, Ofentse transitioned from a musician into her current role as an orchestra conductor and owner of Anchored Sound, a 40-piece orchestra and 25-person strong choir. “I want to drive inclusivity because it’s hard for women to belong in a boardroom or a soundstage. As a Black woman, I have had to learn how to assert myself in male-dominated environments and defend my work and dreams. This is what fuels my vision, my purpose, and my birthright. I want my presence in this space to encourage women who look like me and feel they don’t belong to see that they can, they do, and they must! There is no limit to our potential, capacity, and creativity.”

Engage and delight audiences with an innovative online experience < Back ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in Select a date First Name Last Name Email Company Phone Submit Event details Tiaan and his Ukulele Gauteng Approximately three years ago Tiaan Rautenbach realized that he had a big love for a little guitar and he has never looked back. Teaching himself how to play the ukulele proved easier than expected, with prior guitar-playing knowledge and the help of a few useful apps, and the rest as they say is history. He formed the band Soozie and the Cheesewagon with long-time friend and musical partner, cellist, Lani Groves. They quickly built up a following via social networking and numerous live performances. Sadly his band partner moved to Knysna and he is currently going at it alone, but just as strong as ever. Incorporating the kazoo into his solo sets, Tiaan (or Solo Cheese as he sometimes refers to himself) creates a relaxed, chilled out atmosphere with his quirky renditions of anything from Michael Jackson to Frank Sinatra and everything in between. Perfect as a feature performer or to create atmospheric background tunes or even to roam amongst your guests serenading them, Tiaan and his ukulele is sure to bring a fun element to your event or private function.
