Cape Minstrels troupe Baruch Entertainers, set to host new Theme Song launch event at Plug Studios in Cape Town later this month

Baruch Entertainers, a distinguished troupe in the Cape Town Minstrels community, is thrilled to announce the launch of their new Theme Song for the 2025 carnival competition. This highly anticipated event will take place on Friday, September 27, 2024 at Plug Studios in Paarden Eiland, Cape Town.

Doors open at 8 pm and feature a lineup of top DJs, including DJ Chello, DJ Liam Hans, DJ Taylor, Mr. Morris, and DJ Liam Cue. Attendees will also be treated to a special guest performance by the talented artists Dejavu.

 All proceeds from the event will go towards covering the costs of manufacturing uniforms and other essential items for Baruch Entertainers’ participation in the upcoming street parade and competition.

Claude Jonas, Chairman of Baruch Entertainers, shared his thoughts on the significance of the Theme Song: “Over the years, our theme song has become a fitting item that goes with the theme a troupe decides on for the upcoming carnival competition. It’s about the fun of it, the creativity, and the unorthodox thinking, which helps create a wow factor for our band and our troupe.”

The Theme Song has been crafted by some of the Cape Flats’ finest musical talents, including Taurik Blignaut, Choral Maestro Monwabisi Mbambani, and renowned DJ Neeno. Included in the production of the song are leading musicians Laeeq Stewart, Brett-Marvin Edwards, Jonathan Linnen, as well as their “Jingles” members led by Morne’ Wessels, all yearning from the cape flats community. Claude Jonas adds, “The song has been produced by Taurik Blignaut, who is synonymous in the minstrel fraternity and the best in the business when it comes to culture and music in general. But as to the singing of the song, we don’t want to give too much away—it will be a surprise and will be heard for the first time on the night of the event.”

Baruch Entertainers are celebrated for their unique blend of tradition and innovation within the Minstrels community. Claude Jonas highlights what makes the troupe stand out: “We are a troupe who honours the tradition, in music and voice, but at the same time, we aim to conceptualise what we do by being creative. Competition is extremely tough, and it takes a lot of brain power, skill, and natural talent to achieve success.”

This event is not just about entertainment; it is a testament to Baruch Entertainers’ commitment to giving back to the community. “Our vision has always been to give back to the communities we come from in any form possible. It may not change the world, but we sincerely strive to add value to lives, in extremely difficult times in our country,” says Jonas.
