New international acts confirm for the Cape Town Nu World Festival

Beginning his musical journey at 13, Majozi is a self-taught artist who has since been steadily gaining recognition for his indie-folk music with subtle electro influences.

The young and vibrant Mokoomba from Victoria Falls are bringing their funky Afro-fusion beats, combining traditional Tonga and pan-African music cultures with dashes of rap, ska, soukous and Afro-Cuban music.

Joining Mokoomba is Elemotho, the powerful and poetic acoustic artist from Namibia. With three successful albums to his name, Elemotho will be offering soulful sounds from the Kalahari. A self-described musical activist and performance artist, Elemotho is a proudly African musician whose personal character resonates deeply with the ethos of CTNWF.

Electro-swing king

Adding a little more international flavour to this year's CTNWF stage is Hamburg native, Ulf Lindemann, otherwise known as Dunkelbunt. The electro-swing king has been merging electronic sounds with Gypsy and Balkan beats for over a decade and is ready to offer Cape Town a taste of his international sound.

"I'm looking forward to playing the Nu World festival. I had a really good time last year. The crowd and the event are a perfect fit for my style and music," said leading local vinyl DJ Paul Waxon, who will be returning to CTNWF, offering event-goers a wide range of music spanning decades, genres and continents. He has a special love for Afrobeat and highlife and is always on the lookout for anything soulful from just about anywhere.

Cool kids on the block, Native Young are another local act that will be gracing the stage this year. Led by the multi-talented singer/songwriter Yannick Meyer, this motley crew of young men makes some eclectic, electro-infused, Afro-cool music that audiences love.
