Music

The music is the heart and soul of The Kave.

Artists often find themselves unable to explore their own musical taste through their craft because crowds and audiences have been confined to the latest trending sound on social media platforms and are reluctant to break into something new.

The Kave stands to change this narrative.

At The Kave, talent and skill take precedence, with a special focus on quality DJs who deserve recognition for their craft.

This event series champions a culture where societal norms are secondary to the raw creativity that fuels South Africa’s artistic landscape. Whether you’re an artist on the rise or an enthusiast seeking authentic creative expression, The Kave is where you’ll find the future of South Africa’s creative scene.

Experience

More often than not, a memorable experience is desired. Whether the experience be the music, the art, or the feeling of freedom you experience by being able to be your most creative self. Each volume of The Kave thus far has showcased a new and unique concept, from the creation of an “XXL Freshmen Mag” shoot for Vol. 2 or having artists for Vol. 3 select their own photoshoot location in order to capture them in their most creative & inspirational space.

The Kave has opened up the space where creativity and variation is encouraged and audiences find themselves increasingly open and embracive to the various Sounds of The Kave.
