ODIDIVA: A Queer Heritage Recital @VIVA Cafe
an intimate & personal performance of Spoken Word, Social Commentary, Stand Up Comedy wrapped in the powerful voice of ODIDIVA and some of her favourite songs. Covers and originals will envelope a night dedicated to Cape Town and South Africa Queer Heritage.

“…the Afro in order to keep growing it needs nourishment, plaiting, placating but most of all it need uThando, love…”
from The AFRO is AFRICAN by Odidi Mfenyana (featured in Brett Bailey's HOUSE OF THE HOLY AFRO)
