WHY HIP HOP ARTISTS ON THE JAZZ FESTIVAL?


HIP HOP ARTISTS  ON THE JAZZ FESTIVAL

The international Jazz festival was held for two days at the Cape Town international Convention Centre on March 30 and 31 2012.This festival was meant for international Jazz artists to perform in South Africa in order to express their talents on how to play Jazz .This year's Jazz festival was totally different with the previous festivals because HIP HOP artists was included on the Jazz festival. This year’s Jazz Festival was mixed with  HIP HOP because there were various   HIP HOP artists who performed during the festival. There were various HIP HOP artists who performed such as:
·         HHP (HIP HOP PANTSULA),
·         Jean Grae
·         Skillz
·         Atmosphere and
·         Pharoahe Monch

HHP
king of hip hop: HHP(HIP HOP PANTSULA)
     There were also other various South African artists who performed during the festival.And some of  those artists are not Jazz artists but they also took part.Those artists who participated on the festival   are including artists ,such as Zahara,Unathi and many more.read more
     The festival went well because and it was just a joyous occasion that will never be forgotten by South African citizens and those international people who have been there during the festival.This festival it was just a joyous occasion for everyone who had been there but a question came into my mind where i was asking my self why HIP HOP artists to perform on the Jazz festival?.I think the organiser of this Festival caused a confusion by mixing HIP HOP artists with Jazz artists on the Jazz festival because this festival was meant for Jazz artists.
