Tale of Us takes on fundraising tour in SA

The aim is to support Bridges for Music’s educational projects in townships like Langa (Cape Town), where the NPO is raising funds to build a creative school for underprivileged talent to flourish. Every ticket purchased will contribute to the sustainability of the school.

 

In partnership with Toy Toy and Kinky Disco

 

Tale of Us will perform at two fundraising shows next weekend; one in partnership with Toy Toy in Johannesburg and the other with Kinky Disco in Cape Town.

 

Thye will be supported by a lineup of local artists including Trancemicsoul, Jazzuelle, Deep Aztec, AudioJerk, Cabin Crew, Dogstar, Fabio, Killer Robot, Thibo Tazz and Black Book, all performing at both events. 

 

Free workshop

 

Beyond the fundraising tour, a new free workshop will be announced in Langa in an attempt to bring people from different communities together through the universal language of music. Tale of Us wants to engage in the local scene and inspire others through these conversations about music and life. 

 

The workshop will be held on 26 February in Langa. To book a seat, go to: bit.ly/TOULanga

 

Sustaining the school

 

Following the tour with Loco Dice, Bridges for Music aims to host some of the hottest international artists in a pioneering way with the goal to positively impact underprivileged communities in South Africa. After Resident Advisor secured the core funding to build this school, the aim of these tours is to secure the funds to sustain the Langa School during its first years and offer sponsored studies to young upcoming artists.
