Black Coffee to perform at Victoria Falls Carnival

For the first time in the history of the Victoria Falls Carnival, Africa’s multi award-winning DJ, Black Coffee, will take to the decks on 30 December.
Considering his rise to fame, Black Coffee has proved his worth as a DJ and producer who defies convention. With his South African music award-winning album Home Brewed, Black Coffee sidesteps Afro-house clichés and stage-managed highs in favour of restrained sophistication, with a penchant for true Afropolitan house. He has performed at Coachella, has a residency in Ibiza and now you can catch him live in the heart of Africa.
Multi award-winning carnival performances
Joining Black Coffee is musical heavyweight from the heart of the Congo, Tresor. Tresor released his debut album, VII in September last year, which features collaborations with AKA, Beatenberg, Khuli Chana and The Soil and has opened at number two on the iTunes Albums Chart in South Africa.
Due to high demand, The Kiffness will bring their multi-instrument electric performance back to The Falls. Their live performance is a mix of jazzy, groovy and uplifting house music, making them one of South Africa’s favourite live electronic acts.
Zambian RnB hit maker Mampi will bring her energetic, rhythmic performance to the stage, adding some real African flavour to the line-up. Founder of Neverland and Zimbabwean local Jason Le Roux will curate and perform at the iconic African Carnival Train party. While Victoria Falls locals, Flying Bantu will raise audience spirits with their Afro-fusion of rock, reggae, jazz and funk.
