XHAMELEON AT BLUES FESTIVAL



The Music School Umhlanga has an ongoing live music project, Xhameleon, made up of teachers and a blend of young pupils. As the name Xhameleon suggests, the line-up is never cast in stone. They can expand, contract, change mood, style, feel, colour, on demand.

For the International Blues Festival, they have selected a shortlist of mainly traditional pieces, which includes; Confessing The Blues (old school 12 bar), Summertime (re-arranged blues crawl), People Get Ready (Blues influences Gospel), Don’t Feel Right Blues (Classic Blues/ Own Composition), Don’t Hurry Back (Blues/Latin Own Composition), I'm A Woman (Belting Blues/Rock), Route66 (Traditional), Electric Softtop (Blues/Funk drive /Own Composition), and more.

They will perform at the International Blues Festival on September 28 around 14h30 at Zack’s Wilson’s Wharf.
