In a world where beats and melodies shape the rhythm of our lives, there's a brand that understands the true essence of music's power to unite, inspire, and transform. Ballantine’s, the illustrious Scotch whisky connoisseur, is raising its glasses to a decade of sonic exploration with the jubilant announcement of True Music 10.
Picture this: A year-long extravaganza of sonic symphonies, spanning across 10 vivacious events that merge the boundaries between virtual and tangible realms. It's not just a celebration; it's an ode to the cultural tapestry of music that transcends borders and resonates deep within our souls.
Partnering with the venerable Boiler Room, Ballantine’s unveils a spectacle like no other, inviting music aficionados on a global journey through soundscapes that pulse with energy and creativity. From the bustling streets of Johannesburg to the clandestine corners of Soho, London, the stage is set for an electrifying odyssey.
On the 11th of May, Johannesburg will bear witness to a sonic spectacle of epic proportions, where the echoes of true music will reverberate through the night. With an eclectic lineup featuring the likes of Masters At Work, DBN Gogo, and Toccororo, it's a soirée where every note is a testament to the vibrant diversity of global music culture.
But the celebration doesn't end there. Before the beats descend upon Johannesburg, a clandestine pop-up in the heart of Soho, London sets the stage aglow on the 4th of April. It's a tantalizing preview of the auditory delights to come, as True Music 10 pop-ups journey across Colombia and South Africa, igniting passion in every city they grace.
Tom Elton, the maestro behind Ballantine’s cultural endeavors, reflects on the journey so far with a twinkle in his eye:
"The evolution of True Music over the past decade has been remarkable. For 10 strong years, the platform has been committed to representing, supporting, and promoting inclusive music culture..."
Since its inception in 2014, Ballantine’s and Boiler Room have been instrumental in nurturing emerging talent and championing local music scenes on a global stage. With over 800 headliners and emerging artists from 30 countries across six continents, True Music has become synonymous with innovation and inclusivity.
As part of the jubilant festivities, Ballantine’s opens the doors to its True Music archive, a treasure trove of sonic memories waiting to be rediscovered. From exclusive merchandise to tickets to coveted events, it's a digital sanctuary where music lovers can immerse themselves in the rhythm of True Music.
But the celebration doesn't stop with the music. Ballantine’s reaffirms its commitment to fostering the next generation of musical pioneers through the True Music Fund, extending a helping hand to emerging music-focused organizations and collectives.
In a world where the melody of life plays on, True Music 10 stands as a testament to the enduring power of music to inspire, unite, and elevate. So, let the beats resonate, the melodies linger, and the spirit of True Music soar as we embark on a decade of sonic adventures. Cheers to the rhythm of life!
