Africa’s most celebrated R&B experience, Strictly Soul, makes its highly anticipated return to Johannesburg on Friday, 29 August 2024, at La Parada, Rosebank. Running from 19h00 until 01h00, this special Women’s Month edition promises an unforgettable evening of smooth R&B, electric energy, and a lineup that celebrates the power of women in music.
Strictly Soul has grown into Africa’s biggest R&B gathering, known for creating safe, vibrant spaces where fans connect through their love for the genre. This August, the spotlight shines on women: from the DJs on stage to the soul-loving community that has shaped Strictly Soul’s identity.
The all-female DJ lineup features some of the most exciting names in the game: Ayanda MVP, Coco Brown, DJ Brown Sugar, and Miss Cosmo. Together, they will deliver expertly crafted sets, blending Old School favourites with the freshest sounds of contemporary R&B, Afrobeats, and Neo Soul.
“Women are at the heart of the Strictly Soul community. This Women’s Month, we wanted to honour that by curating a lineup reflecting women’s strength, talent, and unapologetic spirit in music,” says Akio Kawahito, Founder and Music Curator for Strictly Soul.
More than just a music event, Strictly Soul is an experience. It’s a safe space for women to be themselves – whether enjoying a girls’ night out, celebrating a special occasion, or simply taking some well-deserved downtime. With a warm, inclusive atmosphere and a night dedicated to soul, the event promises to be a highlight of Johannesburg’s Women’s Month celebrations.
More than just an event, Strictly Soul is a cultural movement – a celebration of connection, nostalgia, and community through the universal language of R&B. From timeless classics to today’s freshest drops, Strictly Soul brings people together under one groove, building a space that’s as stylish as it is soulful.
Strictly Soul has established an extensive footprint across the continent, with events in 12 cities across 9 countries – and exciting plans to expand into new territories.
