Genesis Awakening: London Meets Soweto

Genesis Awakening: Bakatwa Soweto Showcase — Where Culture Comes Alive

Step into the heartbeat of African creativity. The Genesis Awakening: Bakatwa Soweto Showcase is a full-day cultural explosion — celebrating music, art, and unity in the heart of Soweto.

Hosted at the iconic Soweto Cultural Hub, this experience merges Soweto’s homegrown talent with Bakatwa Media Group’s global artist collective, delivering an unforgettable fusion of sound, style, and spirit.

This year’s edition proudly partners with Zulu Nation, a UK-based event company championing South African sounds across Europe, and Kapinghton DC, a Soweto-born creative house and home of the groundbreaking Trapano sound — a bold new fusion redefining South African music.

Expect an electrifying lineup of Bakatwa artists, Zulu Nation DJs, and Kapinghton DC innovators, alongside Soweto’s most exciting rising acts. From amapiano and afro-soul to house, hip-hop, and Trapano, every performance celebrates the rhythm and innovation that make South Africa’s sound world-class.

More than a festival, Genesis Awakening is a movement — a living testament to Africa’s creative renaissance and its power to inspire global connection.
