(Shabaka Hutchings)
On February 5, The Rainbow and Concerts SA presents Shabaka
and the Ancestors in a musical collaboration between UK based Shabaka Hutchings
and the cream of contemporary Jazz in South Africa. The band released their
album Wisdom of the Elders in
September 2016 and since then has been receiving rave reviews.
Shabaka Hutchings is a saxophonist, band leader and
composer, part of London’s community of younger jazz musicians as well as the
city’s thriving improvised music scene. For Hutchings, composition is a
chronicle of the zeitgeist inhabited by a composer; an exposition of his or her
search for meaning and the structuring of experiences in aid of recognising
this meaning when it appears.
Joining Hutchings on the tour are Siya Mthembu, lead
vocalist of The Brother Moves On; saxophonist Mthunzi Mvubu, drummer Tumi
Mogorosi, bassist Ariel Zamonsky and percussionist Gontse Makhene - all of whom
have performed at the Rainbow in recent years.
Catch Shabaka and the Ancestors on February 5 (doors open at
13h00). Entrance R120. Phone 031 702 9161. The Rainbow is situated at 23
Stanfield Lane in Pinetown.
