ABOUT
The Black Power Station brings you a night of story telling, celebration and connection through song and dance with some amazing local South African artists.
The Idiamani Tour presented by Mohau Moahloli, Cape Town-based artist, is one that reflects great adventure and exploration of the diamond that is South Africa. His recent song release 'Idiamani' is a captivating and creative metaphor for finding your worth and weaves intricate melodies and instruments from a varied background of musical influences.
In a similar vein, the Eastern Cape-based Iva Collective, represents the rich synergy of interconnected cultures. This connection is clearly audible on their Karoo-inspired project, Umhlaba Ophezulu / Higher Ground, where poetry, deep melodies, and artistic movement convey a shared message of oneness.
