Music

Buena Vista Social Club, a Cuban-style cigar bar on the Main Road in Green Point, hosts a live band every Wednesday and salsa dancing on Sundays (no cover on either night). You'll want to wear your dancing shoes as the floor is always hopping with some of the city's best amateur and semi-professional dancers.

West End, one of the city's popular jazz clubs, waives its cover if you arrive before 7 p.m. on Saturdays. Relax at this intimate club known for its great jazz musicians.

The St. Georges Cathedral choir holds free performances periodically, in addition to the full choral evensong that is sung every Sunday evening. Check their website for their schedule. Even if you can't make the concert, the Victorian-style cathedral, which played an important role in the struggle against apartheid during Archbishop Desmond Tutu's tenure in the church, is worth a stop for its historical significance.
