(Skye
Wanda)
Skye Wanda from Durban will perform with
her band The Rocket Men at The Bat Centre on March 30.
This urban songstress is on an experimental
journey through hip hop and jazz. People call her “Phenomenal with a diva voice
like Etta James and rhyme-skills like Lauren Hill”. She brings you relevant
heart-felt lyrics over music. Inspired by love, social ills and happiness.
For this performance Skye Wanda will be
backed by her tight band, The Rocket Men with Thobani Mbatha – a talent on
keys, Mfundo Mgobozi – known for his funky breaks - and bassist Bonga Xulu. Back-up girls Mpilo
Hlongwa and Simphiwe Cele add the sweetest harmonies to round off the sound.
They will perform a host of original tracks in English and isiZulu, swerving between
afro-jazz, gospel, R&B and hip hop.
Skye (27) is a vocalist and rapper whose
music infuses jazz, gospel, R&B and hip hop to create her own distinct and
style and sound, rounded up with catchy melodies and fresh lyrics. Her vocal
capabilities are rich and her performance skills moves people every time she
gets onto a stage. It is no wonder that now she is ready for a new direction
and challenge in her musical career. 2013 will see the release of newly-recorded
