Festival Advisor Talent Scout: Shimza
Honoring Nelson Mandela with a livestream from Robben Island

Hailing from South Africa, Shimza (DJ and producer) has been a beacon for his community as well as being a favorite on the international scene visiting clubs from Spain to Paris, Dubai and much more.
