Verses Session at Zula Bar
A Reflection of the Words on the Streets of Cape Town and South Africa
On the last Wednesday of every month a variety of poets, comedians, beatbox masters, hip-hoppers, songbirds, musicians and sometimes even dancers take their place on the Versus stage at Zula Bar.
Cape Town’s most eclectic spoken word, live music and soul-hop session started in 2004 with an audience of about 20. Five years later, the monthly event sees some 200 people attending.
The night has become a solid event on the Zula Bar calendar, with its own underground following in Cape Town.
Each event features a poet/spoken word artist, a live band and an increasingly popular open mic session.
The latter often enjoy spontaneous collaborations and it is not unusual to see a poet jamming with a guitarist who’s backed by a human beat-machine.
So come offer your support and enjoy the sounds!
