The Flame Factory brings you the 2nd Mayibuye Hip Hop Festival

The Flame Factory is an up and coming young company specializing in events, artist’s management, PR, aspiring to get into alternative sponsorship procurement, distribution, social entrepreneurship, publishing as well as socially conscious awareness campaigns. Our first initiative was an event “021 CALLZ”; a continuing event launched last year, where we call out and host artists from outside Cape Town and South Africa. We proudly and successfully hosted and headlined Qalazive from P.E and Dimitri from Zimbabwe. We have also successfully hosted The ShatterDome Battle League on the 5 April 2015, which was a rap battle league, where emcee’s lyrically square off with other. Now our sights are firmly set on the 2nd Mayibuye Hip Hop Festival.

Mayibuye Hip Hop festival: borrowed the name from the saying Mayibuye Africa.  We celebrating everything that is African Hip Hop, it’ll be a melting pot of creative artistic expression through music as well as the different art forms. It’ll take place in our own backyard…Khayelitsha. We seek to show the link between the cultures of indigenous African people and how it relates to the culture and art form that is Hip Hop. We embracing our history and roots in order to move ahead armed with the right knowledge. We are telling stories through The Arts, that are true and hair raising, especially given the horrific xenophobia plaguing our country. We’re sending a message socially relevant to the society we live in about the place we (Black) Africans find ourselves in right now regarding our struggles, be they economic, social or personal. Last year the event was part of the African Week Celebration collectively organized by RadicalExpressions, The Underground disciple, The Flame Factory as well as other organizations.


 


At the same time the festival serves as an artistic and business networking hub for all creatives as well as entrepreneurs. To exchange knowledge, skills, ideas and contacts with all those affiliated with this festival. An event of this nature will be a highlight to any artistic career and entrepreneur who participates in the planning stages of the event: whether through sponsoring, marketing, sourcing talent and contributing whatever resources are needed.

As it stands the Mayibuye festival is completely self-funded by the organizing team of The Flame Factory. Potential funders are welcome provided certain terms are met. We’re currently negotiating with Computicket and Silulo to be our main outlet for the festival. We seek to create a revolutionary, innovative and artistic space where artists from Cape Town will showcase their craft and their art and their achievements are celebrated and rewarded. One of the many highlights of the event, are the artists we invite from other provinces as well as other countries outside South Africa: they get the opportunity to showcase their art, in front on a new or foreign audience with the love of Music in common. Artists of different calibers have been invited to the Festival; the end product will be a great day for Hip Hop. Come one come all. Your support is appreciated.

  So yeah BACK TO THE CITY2013!! You know mos umntomnyama, never on time, I got there at past 7 because of other commitments. Nevertheless the show was just on another level , heard that Snarks Ou and Maxhoseni had people dancing and singing along, even outside Cape Town they still have fans. Having seen them both perform I couldn't agree more . There were some new faces as well, well I forgot them. So we were told about this crew from the "states" called EMC , that was a performance they pulled after some group came in and bored us. They did their thing except for the part that they Performed for more than 15 minutes , that got the crowed bored including me guess the saying "too much of a good thing is bad" applied in that situation whereas the likes of Tumi, Reason & Tuks just to name a few only performed for 5minutes then their time was over. We needed to hear more of their performance though, but who are we to chang
