(Pinkie
Mtshali & Thulile Zama)
Well-known and popular performer Pinkie
Mtshali, lead vocalist for Durban Divas cabaret trio, teams up with Thulile Zama
from the equally popular female jazz ensemble, Heels Over Head, for a double
bill programme at Rhumbelow this weekend.
The two productions are Victoria Kay - The Township Diva starring
Pinkie Mtshali as Victoria Koekmoer and Big
Gals Don't Cry with Pinkie Mtshali and Thulile Zama.
Victoria
Kay - The Township Diva is a slick one-woman cabaret
presenting Pinkie Mtshali’s musical journey through her soaring soulful dynamic
voice with a combination of humour. Some of the songs are original from her
latest album Now is the Time and some
old-time favourites like, Aint Mis-behavin',
Tshilo Tshilo, The Lady is a Tramp, Somewhere over the Rainbow, The Lion Sleeps
Tonight, Patapata and Let's Call The
Whole Thing Off , to name a few.
Big
Gals Don't Cry - the voluptuous duo Mtshali promise
to sizzle in synch with their exuberant personalities paying tribute to Big
Gals through music with a flair of comedy, sharing their experiences both in
their personal capacities and as performers.
Music is the mixture of foot tapping and
harmonic laidback solos and duets complementing both their diverse experiences
ranging from jazz, funk, disco, African and pop music. Songs in the show
include: I am Beautiful, Woman, Crazy,
Fever, Vulindlela, No Mountain High Enough, Big Spender and It's Raining Men, to mention a few.
