After much postponement due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Fête de la Musique (or World Music Day) took place in Johannesburg on 18 September at four venues for the first time, under strict Covid-19 protocols. The popular and free music festival, established in 2010, has become a great platform for a diverse range of renowned and upcoming talents to make themselves known in South Africa. The event drew an intimate number of young and old music lovers to Newtown Junction, Hector Pieterson Memorial, Victoria Yards and Alliance Française. Those who missed the physical event can stream some of the musician’s memorable performances here: http://www.fetedelamusiquejhb.co.za/streaming/

Nompi Vilakazi tells you more about her project "Gumboot Ants". Synopsis: Tap, a little pre-teen ant, wants nothing more than to be recognised as a great gumboot dancer. But being scrawny and a head shorter than all the other dancers makes that a near impossible feat.

This instantly gives his gumboots a loud tap and he eventually gets everybody’s attention. About the creator: Nompi Vilakazi is a screenwriter of both animation and live action content. She has experience in television drama series and as a Script Development Executive she has worked across genres such as drama, telenovela and animation. Her filmography includes editing credits from the cutting rooms of numerous feature films and Nompi is currently producing an animated pre-school series as well as a live action family movie. #animation #Africa
