Supergroup Zasha! perform Under African Skies for Suidoosterfees

0

THE supergroup, Zasha!, consisting of the former members of the Johnny Clegg band, and superstar Loyiso Bala and friends, will perform Under African Skies, a spectacular music production featuring popular South African hits, at the Artscape Opera House on 29 April as part of the Suidoosterfees programme. 

For over 20 years the group comprising of Mandisa Dlanga (vocals), Andy Innes (guitar), Barry Van Zyl (drums) and Dan Shout (sax/piano) toured the world playing with SA music icon Johnny Clegg. In this exhilarating concert they join forces with superstar Loyiso Bala and guest performers Nomfundo Xaluva and Monde Msutwana to perform some of the most uplifting and energetic South African songbook hits from their careers. Audiences can look forward to sing (and dance!) along to their favourite South African hits. The group will, in true Clegg-band style, also be accompanied on stage by Zulu Mzansi dancers and feature the legendary Savuka backing singer Mandisa Dlanga.

The members of the band are excited about the Suidoosterfees performance. According to Loyiso, he is eager to make his appearance alongside this amazing cast of musicians:  “We’ll be performing a set of South African classics that represent the soundtrack of our lives!” Loyiso is a multi award-winning singer and best known for being a member of TKZee and the Bala Brothers music groups.

Band leader and guitarist Andy says: “The band all kept in touch post their careers with Johnny Clegg and have done some other shows together recently. Over years of touring we became good friends as well as colleagues. Each time we had an opportunity to work together over the past few years, we really enjoyed it – it’s a natural fit for us.”
