Deviating from the traditional jazz artists, the festival welcomed lyricist Dope Saint Jude, Syd of The Internet, Ladybug Mecca of Digable Planets, En Vogue, Laura Mvula and powerhouse vocalist Andra Day.
While Saint Jude hails from Cape Town, the visit was a first for Andra and Syd of The Internet who were excited to switch up their set to appeal to the international crowd.
“Expect to be asked to participate,” Syd said in the press room. “It’s always more fun when the crowd participates so we’re going to be asking the crowd to participate a little.”
