ABAVUKI FOR CENTRE FOR JAZZ

 


The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music proudly present a Cape Town-based, the spectacular Cape Town ensemble Abavuki on Tuesday April 22 at 17h15.

This Afro-Fusion World Music Ensemble for six years and they have been described as “absolutely incredible” & “riveting”! After performing in 13 countries to crowds of up to 80,000 people, this will be their first time in Durbs!

The music is based on traditional African instruments (marimbas, drums & percussion) overlaid with brass (trumpet / trombone / saxophone) and vocals to create their unique, vibrant & contemporary Mzansi sound, firmly based on African music principles & influenced by kwaito, jazz and Latin American rhythms.
