(The
Beam Brothers)
The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music will
presents the Beam Brothers, on September 26, 2017, at 18h00
Established over 60 years ago in
Mpumalanga- Hammarsdale, the outfit has been through a lot of changes owing to
time and members coming and going but its values, love for music and commitment
to the craft has kept them going strong.
While their sound could be easily mistaken
for Gospel music, the Durban based foursome is all about reflecting on the ins
and outs of day-to-day life through their music which can be heard on their 15
track recording titled Thuli. The
recording is made up a laid-back mix of simple compositions and a nostalgic yet
present sound. The Beam Brothers were two-time nominees in the 2015 SATMA
awards.
Join the evergreen sounds of Beam Brothers with Malusi
G Gwala, Sam Mqina, Michael Mkhize, Nkosinathi Lucky Gama (vocals), Mthobisi Mthalane
(piano), Mandla Mgabhi (percussion), Mandla Zikalalala (bass), Philani Atlas
Duma (drums) on September 26 at 18h00. Doors open at 17h30.
General admission R70 (R45 pensioners, R20 students).
The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music (CJPM) is situated at Level 2, Shepstone
