Gather round for some passionate word play in Namibia

A compilation of amazing singers, poets and spoken word artists will be gracing the stage at the Namibian Arts Association on Wednesday.

Poet lovers can expect to be swept off their feet by the lineup of renowned and underground artists at the PoetryNam organised event taking place under the theme ‘The Return’.

The performers are RBP, Andreas Speaks, Tims, Mandy, Vocalfront, Mr Morales, Charmaine, Z, 44Timez, The Neighbourhood baddie, James._ the._poet, Michelle, Mr Poet, Gustavo Shitaleni, Jemimah Ndebele, North Side Rabbi and Arthur.

“The aesthetics of the event is simply just to enjoy some soulful music and listen to some deep and passionate spoken word. The audience should expect to be hit with a lot of love, sensual sounds and passionate wordplay,” said co-founder of PoetryNam Patricia Uapunduka, also known as Patric.Star.

After taking a break in November last year, Uapunduka is delighted at the return of their activities from a hiatus that was forced by “other priorities that had to be met.

“As a team, we just had to sit down and plan ahead for the future of PoetryNam, hence the theme,” she stated.

She said the theme also speaks of what’s still to come in terms of more performances and new artists.

In efforts to keep the poetry
community together, PoetryNam was founded on 12 August 2018 by Uapunduka and Yamikani Mnthambala, with Shen Nanyanga Unoviua Kaereho and Charmaine Gamxamus also serving as committee members.

Tickets cost N$20 in advance, and N$30 at the door. The show starts at 16h00.
