Passionately committed to advancing African cuisine on the international stage, Chef Coco shares his experience as one of its most visible culinary advocates.Described by National Geographic as “advancing the culinary renaissance that is modern African cuisine”, Chef Coco believes there's no better time to elevate the experience of African food to a world-class level. “We are so proud of our music…of the way our African art is being regarded in the world…it is really about time we have the same achievements with food.” As one of a growing number of African chefs leading the evolution of their local food, Chef Coco employs a gourmet approach to transform perceptions of African cuisine. Whether at Épicure, his elegant restaurant in Sandton, Johannesburg or as one of the select chefs of Alkebulan, the world’s first African dining hall debuted at Expo 2020 Dubai, Chef Coco’s culinary portfolio is a luminous testament to the consistent investment he has made in distinguishing himself through authentic African food.“I’ve always wanted to change the way Africa is seen”, Chef Coco shares, and one of his biggest dreams is for there to be cooking schools that are “100% dedicated to African cuisine”.

S01E02 Chef Coco | The Africa Whisperer, Lee Kasumba

How lucky are we? To have three of the best role players in the SA Hip Hop culture, not just as females but as human beings who stand for carrying this culture forward. Lee Kasumba, Lootlove and Ayanda MVP graced the studio to share parts of their journeys ahead of the upcoming #CastleLiteUnlocks Conversations, which are set to take place on the first day of the two-day spectacle. Lee Kasumba, where do we even start? One of the purveyors of the Joburg Hip Hop scene, she helped bring Hip Hop to the mainstream during her tenure at Yfm, she also put on some of your favourite emcees. Lee can be described as a connector in the game, whether it’s rappers to audiences, DJs to artists, and even labels to artists. Having stepped away from Hip Hop for a moment, she takes time to let us in on what she has been up to and trust us when we say she made us green with envy. Lootlove, a returning guest on the show, was introduced to the audience at large through TV presenting on Live Amp and recently made a swift transition to radio. Hosting Absolute Hip Hop with DJ Speedsta on Metro FM, she is definitely very hands-on​ in the progression of SA Hip Hop in all aspects. Most of us got into Hip Hop through friends, cousins and/or siblings, you won’t believe who put her onto Hip Hop. Loot also shares her struggles and joys of motherhood and fame  Ayanda MVP has become almost everyone’s favourite DJ, and one thing we’ve learned in this episode is that Ayanda doesn’t take ‘No’ for an answer. She has pushed through many walls to get where she is today, from being an on-air Hip-Hop radio presenter to making the transition to a fully-fledged daytime presenter on one of Gauteng’s biggest stations. From TUKS FM and learning how to DJ with techno, to now being part of the #CastleLiteUnlocks conversations. Ayanda’s story is definitely hard to ignore just like her presence behind the decks.
