Lovers and Friends Joburg is the Johannesburg debut of FeelDeMuzik Fest, bringing its record-breaking formula of music, dance and community to Sandton’s sophisticated La Salud Kitchen and Lounge on Saturday 27 June 2026. After over 13 million online views and a sold-out sixth edition in Cape Town, the highly anticipated Johannesburg chapter promises to be a landmark night for the city’s Afro-Latin music scene.
In exclusive collaboration with Afro-Latin Experience, this is more than a party — it is an immersive cultural experience where Zouk, Kompa, Rumba, Afrosoul and R&B collide in one unforgettable evening.
About FeelDeMuzik Fest and the Lovers and Friends Joburg Concept
FeelDeMuzik Fest has built a viral, globally recognised brand rooted in the authentic spirit of Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latin music. The Lovers and Friends Joburg edition channels that energy into an intimate, curated experience designed for true music lovers who appreciate culture, rhythm and genuine connection. The collaboration with Afro-Latin Experience brings an additional layer of dance community expertise that elevates the evening beyond a standard club night.
La Salud Kitchen and Lounge in Sandton provides the perfect setting — sophisticated, intimate and designed for guests who want to be fully present in the music and atmosphere.
The Lineup
Headlining the Lovers and Friends Joburg experience is Kabeyah, an international Konpa artist and the visionary director of FeelDeMuzik, who will bring live smooth Rumba and Konpa energy to Johannesburg for the first time. Joining him are the FDM Launch Team and special guests — Joburg’s premier selectors spinning Kizomba, Zouk, Afrosoul, and R&B through the night.
The evening also features Dance Workshops led by expert instructors from Afro-Latin Experience, designed to get the floor moving early and help guests connect with the music on a physical level. Afro-Latin selector DJ Paizinho provides additional supporting beats throughout the evening.
A Curated Sonic Journey
The Lovers and Friends Joburg experience is built around a carefully curated sonic journey. Doors open at 18:00, giving guests time to settle in, attend workshops, and connect before the main musical programme intensifies into the night. The event runs until 02:00 on Sunday morning, offering a full evening arc from warm, welcoming first sets through to high-energy late-night dancing.
Food and drinks are available at the venue throughout the evening, with cash and card both accepted. This means you can focus entirely on the music and company without any logistical worries.
