The event distinguished itself with a unique line-up strictly dedicated to RnB classics, offering a nostalgic journey through the beloved tunes of the '80s and '90s. Interestingly, the audience was predominantly composed of patrons from the late '90s and early 2000s, who enthusiastically sang along to the timeless hits as each DJ took to the stage. The chosen venue, the Grand Aria Basement, struggled to accommodate the overwhelming number of music lovers who flocked to the event.
Tickets had sold out two weeks in advance, and the space quickly became crowded, with long queues adding to the frustration of many attendees. The situation was further exacerbated by poor ventilation, making the decision to allow smoking inside the packed venue less than ideal. Despite these challenges, the spirit of the event remained unspoiled.
Music lovers dressed to impress, were treated to an impressive array of RnB music by DeeJays including Maths, Quest, Kyle, Da O, and DJ Oak. The DeeJays skilfully avoided the common pitfall of repeating the same songs, showcasing their deep knowledge and appreciation of the genre by delivering a diverse and dynamic set list. The star attraction for the day, an appearance by South African actor, Loyiso Macdonald, proved easy as music lovers were more than excitable. Overall, the GinMe OldSkul RnB Brunch proved to be a vibrant celebration of classic RnB, leaving attendees eagerly anticipating the next instalment. With a few logistical tweaks, future events are poised to be even more spectacular, ensuring that the legacy of RnB music continues to thrive.
