Billed as the biggest event on the SA Hip Hop calendar, the African Hip Hop Indaba will showcase a historical photographic and streetwear brand exhibition, dancing and showcases in the main arena, live graffiti spraying and other exhibitions, marketing stalls and refreshment areas.

On September 1, the National Breakdance Team will be selected. The 2012 team will represent their country at the Braun Battle of the Year  – Africa Qualifier, to be held in Montpellier, France in November 2012. The top two African crews will go on to compete against 16 of the world’s best breakdancing crews.

The winning 2 on 2 B-Girls will compete against 16 other countries at the We B*Girlz finals held at Braun Battle of the Year.

The winning DJ will represent South Africa at the DMC World DJ Championships in London in September 2012.

Over the past 12 years the Heal the Hood Project through the African Hip Hop Indaba and its partners have sent over 100 young people to compete at the Battle of the Year International and on various other international exchanges.

The African Hip Hop Indaba aims to encourage a sense of national pride among youth, in representing their country. It also promotes and exposes the talent of young South African artists. The Indaba showcases the work done by Heal the Hood Project and by youth in their communities and throughout the country.

Bush Radio is proud to be associated with the project.
