The Hamptons Jazz Festival, which took place at Duma FM grounds was a huge success as both local and international artists gave electrifying performances.

The show kick-started in the morning, although the rain in the afternoon gave both the Hamptons promoters and the crowd a scare, everything went back to normal around 4:00 pm.  The place was packed with both the young and old, people came in masses with their cooler boxes and camp chairs. There was a VIP lounge, which was full. The sound was superb, there were no glitches or power failures, and the acoustics were on point.

The line -up started with local musicians such as Kalahari Quintent, Metrophones, and Dikakapa who gave thrilling performances.  People danced the night away to their favourite songs and they sang along to every song.  An array of soul, jazz, afro-pop as well as local traditional music was performed on the night to cater for different tastes.  Dikakapa who have been on tour in Tanzania took the stage and wowed the crowd especially the expats, as they were thrilled to see traditional music. They even gave out cassettes of their album as souvenirs to their fans.  The talented Punah Gabasiane-Molale followed with her latest and old songs, she even performed two songs from her upcoming album. The song titled MmaBolaisane was was well received by the fans.
