From April
3 to 16, The Rhumbelow Theatre presents the Tina’s and Tunes Music Festival at
Tina’s Hotel in Kloof. All-female jazz band Heels over Head is part of the
line-up and scheduled for April 15.
The love
of jazz music weaved these girls together towards to end of 2008 to form this
unique musical force. Since then the girls are always occupied with composing,
rehearsing and recording new music and with lots of performances around the
country. Their music is referred to as smooth jazz or easy-breezy pop jazz,
they developed a notable and clever signature sound that consists of current
African-influenced music and uniquely re-arranged standards. The band is known
for making the audience get on their feet and dance to their rhythmic bass
lines and their cheerful melodies.
With
their sparkling stage presence, the ladies always look classy and stylish and
you cannot miss the charm and charisma of their lead vocalist Thulile Zama. She
is joined by skilled drummer Rebekah Doty and accomplished pianist, Lindi
Ngonelo. Last but not least, bassist Lee Ngidi joins the band and the flaming
fusion of musicians is complete.
No doubt
that fans take joy in listening to some Heels over Head; the African jazz
ambiance, skilled musicians and vocalist and well-founded rhythm works
enchanting.
Heels
over Head can be seen on April 15 at 20h00 (doors open at 18h30). Tickets R100
(available in cash at the door or at Computicket). Buffet available for R135.
Tina’s Restaurant is at 14 Beryldene Road in Kloof.
