This past weekend saw Strictly Soul, host ‘Girls in Shades’ a premier destination for soulful R&B vibes and unforgettable experiences celebrating women. This took place at La Parada Rosebank on the 28th of March in Joburg, 29th of March in Durban and 30th of March in Cape Town. This is an event that celebrates the essence of femininity and highlights the pivotal role that women play in Strictly Soul’s community.
Inspired by the undeniable influence and importance of women as the primary market for Strictly Soul, the ‘Girls in Shades’ event celebrates femme energy and style. All are welcome at Strictly Soul, but we take this occasion to shout out the women who come together with their friends to have a good time and bask in the rhythm of soulful music. It is a tribute to the women who continue to grace us with their presence and support, making each experience at Strictly Soul truly special.
“We love how Strictly Soul is noticeably dominated by femme energy. No offence to the gents, but we’re sure you get it… We’d all much rather be in a room of women having a good time. The energy is just nicer, you know? Everyone feels comfortable, no one’s creeping, no one’s fighting, it’s just a softer energy,” says Anita Makgetla.
A lot of nightlife spaces, especially clubs, treat women as a commodity to be consumed rather than as participants in the experience. Strictly Soul recognises and values women as their primary consumers, understanding their preferences, and catering to their desires for an unparalleled nightlife experience. This event promises an atmosphere filled with glamour, sophistication, and the undeniable allure of women adorned in their chic shades and having an absolute blast.
La Parada Rosebank provides the perfect backdrop for this glamorous affair, with its stylish ambiance and vibrant energy. Guests can expect an evening filled with soulful beats, delectable cocktails, and unforgettable moments shared amongst friends and fellow soul enthusiasts.
“Strictly Soul has always been a party for girls and my favourite girls to DJ for are the girls wearing sunglasses. They’ve got a different energy. So, we decided to create party where everyone is my favourite person to DJ for,” says Akio Kawahito.
Whether it’s a night out with the girls or a celebration of womanhood, the ‘Girls in Shades’ event promises to be an evening to remember. Join Strictly Soul at La Parada Rosebank on the 28th of March for an enchanting journey into the world of soulful rhythms.
