Jazz & World Music Masala will take place at Swingers Jazz Club in Wetton on Sunday 10 July 2011, starting at 5 pm.

Parisian jazz vocalist and scat specialist Deborah Tanguy will make a brief return to the city to highlight a celebration of jazz vocals not seen in recent times in the city.

This concert marks the debut of Kalahari Connection, a global collective of Cape based musicians, each bringing their unique flavour to a band that celebrates a rich music variety descended from the Kalahari and the first peoples. The group features Bongani Sotshononda (Marimba), Dizu Plaatjies (Various African Instruments), Alice Zhang (Chinese Flutes), Barry van Zyl (Drums), Alistair Andrews (Basses) and Ronan Skillen (Tabla and Indian Percussion) in a tantalizing mix of Jazz, African and Indo-Chinese music.

Renowned songbird, pianist and musical theatre personality Amanda Tiffin will double up on piano and vocals, along with two of the city’s most promising jazz vocalists Sandile Gontsana and Vuyo Sotashe.

The Dynamics from Settlers High School will add dazzling youth jazz to the evening’s entertainment.

Tickets cost R70. For bookings call 083 390 4529 or pay at the door. Dining is optional. Swingers Jazz Club is located at 1 Wetwyn Rd, Wetton. Tel: 021 762 2443.
