Marabastad The Musical

Marabastad The Musical, is an enthralling musical that highlights and brings forth the historic events in the slums of Marabastaad, near the centre of Pretoria in the days of apartheid. Through beautiful singing, electrifying moves of marabi dances, Marabastad The Musical celebrates the multi-racial and multicultural life of the people of Marabastad. It also celebrates its signature invention of Marabi music that created the vivacity and the energy of the shebeens and parties and gave the African working classes a new sense of identity, hope and ambitious but not yet gripped nor engulfed by the Group Areas Act, Forced Removal, repressive laws and other social injustices.
