The Rainbow Restaurant in Pinetown will
host Durban - The Warmest Place To Be
which presents Musical Democracy featuring Burton Naidoo, Tanga Pasi (Zim), Dr.
Fly and the Nurses and Napalma (Brazil/Moz/SA)
“The first performance starts at 14h00
where we go deep jazz with Burton Naidoo's Musical Democracy quintet,” explains
co-owner Neil Comfort. “We follow that up with a set from five-piece afro-beat
outfit Tanga Pasi who hail from the Kalanga region of Zimbabwe and who will be
making their third appearance on the Rainbow stage.
“For this performance we get to hear the
sounds of their debut full length album, Ntolontolo
- A Long Time Ago. From there we take a "sho't left" to the
unique sounds of Dr. Fly and The Nurses, an acappella trio in the tradition of
the Andrew Sisters featuring the vocal talents of Sophie Basckin, Jessica Sole
and Natalie Shama.”
What follows will be a "beega
party" with electro-percussion trio Napalma fronted by Mozambican
born/Brazilian raised vocalist Ivo Maia with Brazil's Cid Travaglia
driving hard on djembe.
Comfort adds: “The best part of it all is
that with the kind and generous support of the Ethekwini Municipality we are
able to use this event as a fundraiser for the Rainbow's charity of choice, the
Open Door Crises Centre which is based in Pinetown and offers invaluable
assistance to the victims of human trafficking and abuse. All monies raised
from ticket sales will be donated to Open Door.”
Durban
- The Warmest Place To Be will serve both as a celebration
of Human Rights in South Africa and as one of the official welcoming events for
delegates to the Fifth BRICS Summit.
The event takes place on March 24 and doors
will open at 13h00. Tickets R40 at the door. The Rainbow Restaurant Estd 1981
is situated at 23 Stanfield Lane, Pinetown. More information on 031 702 9161 or
