Exploring Africa on motorbike: South Africa's Grandest Gatherings

On the day of my arrival to Cape Town (March 28th) I was pleasantly surprised by the free community music concert within Cape Town Jazz Festival opening. The concert was held at Green Market Square in the city center. Among live performers I noticed Allen Stone, HHP, Dave Koz, Patti Austin. A very nice evening, thank you CTJF.
Two days later Cape Town Jazz Festival 2012 officially opened its doors at Cape Town International Convention Centre. There were around forty musicians / bands performing top quality jazz, pop, soul and african music on six different stages for two days in a row. Everyday from around 7pm up till 1am. Organizers did a hard and very good job. They also prepared a nice media corner for press. The festival is truly one of the most beautiful music festivals in the world. And also Africa's Grandest Gathering as they say. It's all about Jazz. I hope for the best also in 2013.

The day after Cape Town Jazz Festival 2012 closed its doors, it was the time to see the finish of one of the toughest mountain bike races in the world. It is called Cape Epic. There were around 1200 racers which cycled around 800 very tough kilometers in 8 days. After the race was finished there was a free concert held at 2pm. The band was nobody else but amazing Freshlyground and their sound was again very fresh and grounded. Thank you FG and organizers for a beautiful concert.
