Rapper Jitsvinger is hosting the Local is Global variety show, combining comedy, jazz and rap at the good food and wine joint, Yobo.
The cosy venue is situated in Shortmarket Street in the Cape Town CBD.
First up will be Melissa Ohlsson – a writer, a feminist and a woman with a penchant for hip hop and activism.
She details her navigation of these different worlds, while raising two kids and using comedy as a catalyst.
Jitsvinger meanwhile continues to dabble and experiment with his well-known Afrikaaps rap style and this time he’s collaborating with jazz innovator, musical director, and piano teacher from Robertson, Winston Siljeur, on keyboards to expand sonic boundaries live on stage.
Jits says: “I use my poetry to form collaborations with other creatives. We want to have an exclusive society even though we are still so divided. I actually want people to bring their own vibe when they come to Town.
“People need to see that osse vibe is as good, so we’re bringing the event to the CBD to have people feel that we too can feel international.”
Entry is free and the show starts at 8pm on Saturday.
