The summit will take place at the well-known zone 6 venue in Soweto, on Friday, June 23rd and Saturday June 24th.
Showcasing under the theme ‘revolutionization of amapiano” the implemented workshop will focus on translating the relevance and value of music and arts as a contributing factor to South African environment and youth empowerment. Discussions and research around the crucial role that amapiano plays will be at the centre of the summits message.
