ABOUT

Join us on Saturday 11 July 2020 LIVE from the underground for the vibrant sights and sounds of FRUIT VENDOR!


Fruit Vendor is an eclectic Afropop music project from Cape Town, South Africa that fuses elements of ghoema, maskandi, funk, hip hop, RnB, rock and jazz – altogether held together by authentic, meaningful lyrics and a distinct and colourful live show. It’s their mission to share their musical fruit as far and as wide as possible. From humble one man performances at open mics and church bazaars to full band parties playing alongside artists like David Kramer, Kahn Morbee (Parlotones), Sipho "Hotstix" Mabuse, Matthew Mole, Majozi, Jimmy Nevis and a range of who's who's. The fruit is being shared, slowly but surely. What started as a humble dream in Ouma Anna's Athlone granny flat has germinated into a musical movement spanning three underground EPs, hundreds of shows (from Mitchells Plain park jams to Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts) and now, finally a full length batch of South African songs as part of their debut album "The Seedling" - each song a testimonial to the fabric that underpins contemporary South African life: a desire to be heard, to be understood, to connect, to taste the fruit of each one's everyday experience. "Original, quirky, funny and super skilled..." - Weekend Special.
