(Steve
Newman)
The Rainbow Restaurant in Pinetown will
host Some Tananas Tunes presented by
Steve Newman, Kesivan Naidoo, Jimi Curve and Lu Dlamini over the weekend.
“Just over a month ago, we were fortunate
enough to host Steve Newman and Lu Dlamini on a very chilled acoustic focused
afternoon at the Rainbow,” says co-owner Neil Comfort. “During the course of
that concert Newman mentioned that he was touring a project from the end of May
that would be performing the music of the internationally acclaimed World Music
trio known as Tananas, which featured Newman on guitar, Ian Herman on drums and
the late Gito Baloi on bass guitar and occasionally vocals.
“Whilst the original Tananas never got to
perform at the Rainbow in their peak days, there was just no way I was going to
miss out this time around,” adds Comfort. “I am totally enchanted by the magic
that springs forth when Newman and Dlamini get on stage. Add in a rhythm
section which features the one and only Kesivan Naidoo on drums and I predict
an electrifying afternoon. On bass guitar is the only musician who will be
making his Rainbow debut, namely Jimi Curve who most recently toured through
Durban with the group Black Southeaster.”
Some
Tananas Tunes takes place on June 2. Doors open at 13h00
with the music just after 14h00. Tickets R80 at the door or presale via https://www.webtickets.co.za/event.aspx?itemid=405222127
