The Cape Town International Jazz Festival has proved many skeptics wrong. When the organisers launched the event in 2000, many felt that the event, like other previous attempts to have an annual international jazz festival on the African continent, would fizzle out. In April 03-04, the festival which attracted 33 500 people this year, turns ten.
Everyone is invited. Support this Fundraiser Music Festival for Zimbabwe
Overtone is proud to host the first ever ZimFest in South Africa.
The concept is simple. We set up the most awesome collection of bands in South Africa and ask them to perform at our massive music festival. You all come and have a massive party. Make a difference – Party for Zimbabwe. The proceeds all go to Humanitarian efforts for Zimbabwe.
All ticket sales proceeds from this event go to humanitarian efforts in Southern Africa via PASSOP

NOTE: Bands with the most votes are not necessarily playing at ZIMFEST. OVERTONE makes the final selection and the polls give us a better indication of band popularity. Decisions are based on relevance of the band to Zimbabwe, costs, and style of music.
In the month of July 2008, Overtone is focusing on Upcoming and Independent Music. This means if you’re in a band looking to get noticed, you’ve found a good spot.
The music industry is more about hard work and contacts than having a couple of good songs. Overtone aims squarely at creating a platform for upcoming bands to create a name for themselves. In a word: professionalism.
