Described as a \u201cpop-sokkie extravaganza\u201d by its makers, Jonk in Afrikaans features fresh new faces in the Afrikaans music industry.<\/p>\n
Guests can expect to see Elvis se Seun, Franja du Plessis, Chane Valentine, Dirk van der Westhuizen, Juan Boucher, Tussen Sterre, Irene-Louise van Wyk and Heidi.<\/p>
They are young and incredibly talented and bursting at the seams with new, original, modern dance and pop songs, and are getting together to do something great with that.<\/p>\n Unlike a typical concert where guests are glued to their chairs for lack of space to actually get down and boogie, Jonk in Afrikaans allows for the dancer in you to be unleashed.<\/p>\n The visual effects, scenic lighting and cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the Afrikaans music scene make for a tasteful, fun-filled audio and dancing feast.<\/p>\n Who thought of Jonk in Afrikaans?<\/p>\n The idea started with two young entrepreneurs who religiously attend Afrikaans music concerts and identified a massive gap in the market for something fresh aimed at the younger generation.<\/p>\n For this reason, the event focuses very much on dance and \u201csokkie\u201d music, allowing for freedom to dance and participate in the extravaganza.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ALSO READ:<\/span><\/p>\n Durban\u2019s colourful culture comes to Carnival City<\/a><\/p>\n The music of The Eagles comes to life at Carnival City<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe are excited about bringing this brand new offering to Carnival City for the first time,\u201d said Michelle Smith, marketing manager of Carnival City.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not going to be your average, everyday Afrikaans music show.\u201d<\/p>\n Diarise October 20 and tell friends and family not to miss out on this one.<\/p>\n Although very dance-focused, seats will be available for guests who would prefer to watch the artists perform.<\/p>\n The festivities take place at Carnival City\u2019s Big Top Arena.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact the newsroom by emailing: Melissa Hart (Editor)\u00a0<\/span>germistoncitynews@caxton.co.za <\/a><\/strong>or Leigh Hodgson (News Editor)\u00a0<\/span>leighh@caxton.co.za<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Kgotsofalang Mashilo (journalist)\u00a0kgotsofalangm@caxton.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Remember to visit the Germiston City News on the following social media platforms:<\/p>\n Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Twitter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Or add the GCN on\u00a0<\/b><\/span>WhatsApp 079 406 1181<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0BBM (BBM Pin: 7F102137)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>today, to get all the latest news.<\/p>\n Catch-up on more local news with our sister newspapers\u00a0<\/span>Bedfordview Edenvale News<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Alberton Record<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Kempton Express<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/08\/34GCNENTERTAINMEN_24302-520x390.jpg\")
