The Headroom Events and Concerts SA presents Amaryoni (“The
Lions”), one of South Africa's finest five piece vocal groups live at Lacoste
Lounge in Kwa-Mashu on May 24.
Amaryoni works in styles that range from Mbube to
Isicathamiya. Whilst the group’s music
is strongly influenced by the Isicathamiya and Mbube styles, they’ve added
their own unique twist of Township vibes, along with some "Bandit"
music, and strong Gospel influences. Amaryoni have been charming audiences
around the country for years, and have grown into a strong, stable and
harmonious musical unit.
The line-up includes Zamo Mbutho, Thulani Galane, Sipho
Nxumalo, Smanga (S. Davis) Nokwe and Nqobile Mbanjwa.
All the closely-knit members fully understand and appreciate
their important roles as singers in a nation that tends to sing about almost
anything that happens, or has happened, to its people. Members have honed their
skills over many years’ work both on stage, and in the studio, for a host of
African music icons such as Miriam Makeba, Caiphus Semenya, Hugh Masekela,
Sbongile Khumalo Angelique Kidjo, Johnny Clegg, Madala Kunene, Jika Nelanga and
many more. Besides playing a strong supporting role to most South Africa’s
studio and live recorded music, they each have strong solo projects on the
side.

Kwa-Mashu on May 24 at 15h00.Tickets R30 (R15 students) at the door
