“We created Ebantwini out of a need to hold space for artists and creatives who are shaping culture but aren’t always centered in mainstream platforms”.

“Ebantwini,” isn’t just a title; it’s a statement. It’s about creating an environment where art, music, and community aren’t just consumed, but lived in. With Ebantwini, The Solemates Experience isn’t just hosting another show, they’re curating a moment. 

That spirit of inclusion and connection runs through every part of Ebantwini. From the sound to the setting, the goal is simple: to create an atmosphere that feels like home to anyone who steps through.

“We want people to feel like they’ve stepped into a world that sees them, loud, unapologetic, and creatively rich”.

Ebantwini isn’t just about a single night of good music and good people, it’s about momentum. The event is part of a wider movement of artists reclaiming, redefining and curating experiences rooted in people, powered by collaboration, and alive with the pulse of South Africa’s creative renaissance.

“It’s about bringing creativity back to the community and making it feel lived-in, not distant.”

In a time where creative culture often feels curated from a distance, The Solemates Experience is flipping the script with Ebantwini, a space built amongst the people.
