The event was held courtesy of three of Tsabong Bars complex tenants, Kilowatt, Crossroads and Plug Café. It is not the first time that the two bar owners collaborated to host such an act as they say apart from promoting the brands they sell, the event was also meant to empower local citizens who do not often get bookings for the mainstream music festival events.

With revelers allowed to watch for free, the venue was packed to capacity as the popular drinking complex turned into a haven of entertainment. Artists such as Slow Wizzy, Tizo and Segalaupa were popular among the revelers as they serenaded them with their music. Dipoko & The Lucky Stars was undoubtedly the popular of all artists as they performed with a live band.



From the first time when they did their sound check, their dancers, Moabi, Silence and Tawanda mesmerised the audience with their dance moves and set the tone for the rest of the performances. Just when the crowd was having the best of times, the group left the stage as the crowd asked for more. Slow Wizzy was also popular with the crowd. Known for his elements of the popular and Nigerian chord progression, this time around, Slow Wizzy came with a completely different sound as he performed some of the songs from his upcoming album. Segalaupa also showed that traditional music is still popular in the country as he wowed the crowd with their music.

His dancers were also a marvel to watch with their dance moves. Since turning the leaf and shrugging off the notorious crime place tag associated with it, Tsabong Bars complex has become a safe haven of peaceful entertainment where local artists are afforded a chance to launch their careers.
