Fire in the Mountain : S.A. premier Hip Hop Festival

The main aim of this Festival is to give exposure to South African artists who've been marginalized by the mainstream. This is an opportunity for MC's and Ragga heads from townships across the country to raise social fire alarms through their rhymes about life; things that "piss them off" and moments that make it all worth while. Unlike monotonous mainstream sounds, the crews that are selected have a social message about their distinctly South African experience.

 

 
Fire on the Mountain was conceptualized by a group of artists, filmmakers and social activist who call themselves the Imbawula Trust (imbawula is the Zulu name for the tin drum which is used by people in townships, to contain fires and which they stand around to keep warm). The Trust aim is to empower largely unknown artists by providing information on everything from the dangers of signing certain recording contracts to marketing themselves.
 
 
Along with the focus on music-and-dance, Fire on the Mountain also showcases work of independent filmmakers in specially erected movie tents; other visual artists like photographers and graff writers will also have their work on display.So if you want to camp out under the stars in the sublime setting of the La Motte Farm with the Berg River running through it and witness cutting edge artists performing against the backdrop of majestic mountains don't miss the Fire on the Mountain. The next one takes place the last weekend in February! Be there or be square!
