Invasion of the Tanga Bears at Centre for Jazz and Popular
Music takes place on February 15 at 18h00.
Wild animals roam only here in Africa ? Wrong! In Tanga Zoo, Swiss drummer, Andy Brugger,
has united a few wild specimens of his own from Europe.
Andy Brugger is one of Switzerland’s most accomplished Jazz-
and Funk-drummers, in addition to being a gifted teacher at the Zürich College
for Music (ZHdK) for many years now. The Maestro is no stranger to South Africa
– having toured here twice, as well as having instructed for 3 months at the
(then) University of Natal.
His current band, Tanga Zoo, fascinates with its hypnotic
grooves and virtuoso playing. It’s not jazz, it’s not Funk – it’s both. But you
won’t be missing some soulful melody’s either. In the music of Tanga Zoo you’ll
hear the melting of Swiss Chocolate mixed with the power of wild Swiss
mountain-animals. The music has nothing to do with Tango, the music of
Argentina.
Don’t miss this unique chance to see and hear these exotic
creatures performing their home-brew Swiss-Jazz – spicy funk, illicit grooves,
and hybrid sound sculptures. Andy Brugger (drums), Jean-Pierre Schaller (bass),
André Kunz (guitar), Marc Jufer (reeds) and Kriz «Flew» Flueler
(trumpet/Electronics).
Tango Zoo performs on February 15 at 18h00 (doors open 17h30)
at The Centre for Jazz & Popular Music (CJPM), Level 2 Shepstone Building
at UKZN Howard College Campus, Durban. Tickets R70 (R45 pensioners and R20
students) available at the door.
