Mean Black Mamba & Birds from Africa in Cape Town
27 Apr, 2014 @ 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM
It might be hot in the city, but it’s cool under the Bedouin tents that are a feature of the popular Century City Natural Goods Market where visitors have the chance to eat good, do good, listen good and shop good at Cape Town’s premier summer fair. As always, prime time entertainment is a feature of the fair and this month, Mean Black Mamba, with their raw foot stomping roots music that gets bodies grooving provide accompaniment to the shopping adventure. Humour and hope slides between writhing riffs and the insistent thump of a cowhide drum. This is Afro swamp gospel; this is blues n? roll.
Cape Town’s ‘bird man’ and his feathered friends will be on hand to entertain young and old with the Birds of Africa show. Martin Odd, accompanied by Christina the Macaw Parrot and Lady Jane the Harris Hawk have been pressed into service at the market. Be sure not to miss the ‘Art on the Island’ where visitors to Intaka Island can expect a different artist’s studio showcase each month, interactive cultural events such as storytelling sessions or portrait photo studios, and a variety of high-end craft artists too.
While there’s an entertaining menu for visitors, the market gives shoppers time to celebrate the festive side of life with a glass of organic bubbly while browsing around the great selection of quality products and delicious food, kept cool and safe under Bedouin stretch tents created by Dimensions Tents & Structures.
