On Friday 4 May, Cape Town-based Flamenco guitar duo Kubu Strings takes to the Brampton Sound Stage at the Bay Harbour Market, Hout Bay for Friday Night LIVE! Comprised of classically-trained musicians Pierre Fourie and Nizaar Allie, Kubu Strings combines Nouveau Flamenco guitar sounds with Bossa nova, nu jazz, classical, Eastern and African beats. They perform original compositions and are certainly not to be missed.

Taking to the stage on Saturday, May 5, is Abbott Jazz, featuring keyboard player “J”, Peter Dlodlo on sax and Dave Novis on percussion and drums. The trio will play a collection of traditional-style New Orleans jazz numbers.
