Organisers yesterday said the event will embody the lives, tastes and inspiration of old school music lovers and will be anchored by an incredible array of music by the biggest and most iconic artistes in R&B, motown, soul, hip-hop and house music.
The unique mix of music will reflect the lifestyle and sophistication of the yester-year era that has shaped everything in today’s music and the event will redefine old school music presentation that will cut across all genrés including kwaito, funk, new jack swing, classic dancehall and reggae hits.
Old Skool’s unique style that achieved global success continues to be an inspiration to many musicians as they sample the music and recreate it for current trends.
Speaking to Southern Eye Lifestyle, on behalf of Body&Soul, Gibson Ncube said: “As DJs who are linked to both eras, the old and new school, it is a privilege to collect, understand and relate to both eras.
It also is an honour for us to be able to engage and entertain people of different age groups who love different genrés of music.”
In an era where arguably good old school nights are rare in Bulawayo, the arrival of Body&Soul’s once-a-month event has created a buzz among old school fans around the city and the hosts say old school music is not for everyone.
