Kwaito group Trompies members Eugene Mthethwa and Jairus Jakarumba Nkwe chat to us about their new music and upcoming performance at the Red Bull Music Festival. By Kwanele Mathebula
Red Bull and Trompies started working together years ago.
Jakarumba: The energy drink company has always been supportive of our music and often ask us to perform at its events. The performances are always fun and memorable.
Eugene: The international brand is actually one of the few companies that have invested in the local music industry. We’re happy that, with over 25 years in the industry, we’re still able to do what we love most.

Eugene: We are looking forward to taking our fans down memory lane as we perform all the favourites.
Jakarumba: We will also be dressed in our usual pantsula gear along with our high-energy performance. We’re excited for a chance to interact with our fans at the festival. See you there!
