Charming
French-Congolese singer Rene Tshiakanyi will be live, with friends, in concert at
the Catalina Theatre on November 29.
Tshiakanyi
has a busy time ahead performing at various venues in and around greater
Durban. Singing both in French and English, he describes his music and compositions
as a mixture of classic pop; RnB; reggae and Zouk (which is a mixture of French
and Caribbean music). His sound is undeniably distinctive.
Many of
his songs are thoughtful and reflective – about love, emotion and passion in
all its guises. Increasingly, though, his new music talks about pertinent
global issues: the crisis in the Congo, the plight of refugees; the quest for
peace and freedom in Africa and the need to be the voice for the voiceless
victims of violence. He is an active ambassador for orphans and vulnerable
children who are victims of the ongoing unrest and violence in Eastern
Congo.
The
performance takes place on November 29 at 19h00 at Catalina Theatre, Wilson’s
Wharf. More information on 031 305 6889.
