TANGA PASI AT BLUESTOCKINGS

This evening, bluestockings present the touring Zim sensation, Tanga Pasi.

Tanga Pasi is a bright and talented ensemble of Zimbawean artists who have just released their official debut album. Their music is grass roots - a fertile ground from which springs forth a tapestry of hopeful ideas, abundant joys and messages of strength in volatile times. The rich vocals of the lead singers are a listening experience, and mixed with soulful lyrics and an energetic African sound.

Tanga Pasi (meaning “starting from scratch”) is a versatile band making Nu-Afro music; a unique fusion of reggae, afro-jazz, folk, rock, Kalanga rhythms and traditional Ndebele harmonies. With a contemporary yet culturally-grounded feel, Tanga Pasi fuse styles, rhythms and instruments. Their lyrics are mindful, their harmonies soulful and their rhythms rock.

The performance takes place tonight (June 9) at 19h30 for 20h00. Entry R60. Traditional North African Cuisine (R60 by pre-order only). Bookings essential through Narene on 083 659 3628.
