Guests

If you’re a South African musician, producer, label manager or promotor, or a music journalist, or documentary film maker, or in some way connected to the South African music scene and you find yourself passing through London in the UK, or Los Angeles or San Diego in the USA, we’d be delighted to have you as a guest on our show.

Just give us a shout and we’ll make a plan to sit down with you and chat about your work and South African music in general on the South African music podcast described by Esquire Magazine as “essential”.
