(Thulile
Zama)
In association with The State Theatre,
iSupport Music Business presents a tribute to the legendary African star Miriam
Makeba titled A Tribute to Mama Africa
performed by the Durban based Thulile Zama.
Zama is a versatile vocalist who aims to
keep us inspired in her latest musical theatre performance. This will take
place at The State Theatre on March 23, 2018.
Miriam Makeba, who was a vocalist and human
rights activist, was the first soloist to put African melodies abroad in the
1960s. She is well acknowledged throughout the world and also known as 'Mama
Africa’. Miriam Makeba’s career influenced Thulile Zama and her band members to
such an extent that she found it fitting to do a tribute in honour of Mama
Africa. Her and her band have chosen songs from different era of her
illustrious career including favourites like Pata Pata and Click song, but also the ballads like Promise and the heart wrenching
offerings.
“We are inviting people from all
backgrounds and ages to come watch this show, as we are honouring a legendary
South African musician that we want to keep alive throughout generations,” says
Zama
The band will be made up of Thulile Zama on
vocals, David Smith on keys, Rebekah Doty on drums and Sbusiso Mkhonza on bass
guitar.
Tribute
to Mama Africa, Miriam Makeba will take place at
The State Theatre in Pretoria on March 23, 2018, at 20h00. Entrance fee is R120
and tickets are available at Computicket.
