KwaMashu band Just Friends are the featured musical act in
The Playhouse Company’s Sundowners concert
on April 1 in the Playhouse.
Just Friends was formed in 2014 to introduce African jazz to
the township, and to teach youth to play instruments to keep them away from
crime and drugs. The band is made up of Bernard Mndaweni on bass guitar, Khaya Dlamini
on saxophone, Eric Duma on trumpet, Wake Mahlobo on drums and Lindelani Mathonsi
on piano.The band has performed in various venues around the Durban area and
plays African jazz, maskanda, mbaqanga and other musical styles.
Also on the programme for the evening is the extremely
popular poets’ line-up. Poets Aphiwe Boiboi, Tulile Siguca, Flintsky and
Zewande BK Bhengu (from Johannesburg) will perform their own original works for
always-enthusiastic Sundowners audiences.
The Sundowners concert on April 1 takes place in the
Playhouse Foyer from 17h00. Entry is free.
The Playhouse Coffee Shop and the Playhouse bar will both be
open for a selection of drinks and light meals. Discounted parking is available
at the Royal Parkade and the Albany Parkade. Free Wi-Fi is available in the
