Having been exclusively online, in Season 02, SAST FRINGE sees music lovers being part of the LIVE recording experience of musicians’ performances. The luxury was not enjoyed when this cutting-edge music programme was launched in November 2020 during strict COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. Its establishment was a measure to offer pandemic relief and mass employment for artists during lockdowns. The programme has created work for scores of artists, including those working behind the scenes.
SAST FRINGE provides an opportunity for working artists that have been on the fringe but depend on their artistic and technical talents for a living. It is dominated by musicians who are producing music to enter the mainstream or commercial scene.
To date, season 02 have has profiled talented artists such as Nhlanha Dube, Urban Village, Le Mpendulo, UMLE Mathapelo Masilela and Leomile. Their performances will soon be put online for streaming.
