The summer party season for dance and music lovers started off with a bang this past Saturday – 15 December as the Drumboss, Heavy K together with dance and electronic music sensation Moonchild Sanelly hosted their Bacardi House Party Session in Johannesburg.
Hosted on the rooftop of one of the most popular venues in Braamfontein, Thirteen Venue, the African themed party was filled with young and old who enjoy moving to the rhythm of authentic South African hits. Moonchild Sanelly most famously known for her verse on DJ Maphorisa’s Midnight Starring, graced the stage with her unique style and infectious personality, while Heavy K banged out hit after hit behind the decks.
Bacardi’s passion to celebrate self expression and shine the spotlight on local musical talent was evident at the party. All the selected artists on the line up brought their unique flavour to the stage; Bonj Makaza, Indie group Darkie Fiction and house DJ, Cubique showcased their unlimited creativity, artistic intelligence and love of music. The crowds were on their feet all day, grooving to the sounds of organic South African talent brought to the stage by Bacardi.
The collaboration
Much like the Bacardi House Party Sessions before (Da L.E.S and Flame and Speedsta and Yung Swiss) Heavy K and Moonchild Sanelly debuted their new collaboration track at the event. The songs beat is iconic to Heavy K, filled with African beats and sounds that are complimented by Moonchild Sanelly’s one-of-a-kind voice.
The new track and music video created in partnership with the Bacardi House Party Sessions will debut to the public in early January 2019 so look out for it on the artists’ social platforms as well as music streaming services. You can also see both artists together with the other Bacardi House Party Session artists perform live at the Bacardi Holiday Club taking place next March.
What’s next?
