AFRIGO BAND ALIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA

Nature relies on instinct and so do peoples and their music.

On the 6th of Nov, 2010, (this week) as the sun sets on the lush green lawns of University of Pretoria Sports ground, music and dance will once again be the centre of attraction.

It won’t be the usual hannington’s braai (facebook group) that have long been the tradition of the place.

Instead, it will be a mother of all shows, a performance and possibly a music fest never seen before.

Afrigo Band, Uganda’s oldest and most celebrated band will be performing live for the first time in South Africa.

Right inside Rembrandt Hall at the Tuks Sports ground, it will only be entertainment and sound.

A band which has been voted number one in Uganda and other parts of the world as the most popular by demand, opinion and by popular vote will dazzle all.

A 16-person line-up of cult personalities like lead singer and front-man Moses Matovu, then Joanita Kawalya, Rachael Magoola, Eddy Yawe and Congolese dance specialists; a glorious night awaits all revelers.

This will also double as a grand launch of PAMATA (Pan African Music And Theatre Arts), local dance, theatre and arts group. Visit www.pamata.co.za

It promises to be a scorching performance on the hottest night of the South African party calendar.

Keyboard maestros, accomplished saxophonists, the Jimmy Hendrix re-incarnations massaging the guitars, fine drummers complimented by gorgeous voices; this will be a night of hip-swinging and life-enhancing splendour.

A music extravaganza with a typical sense of African rhythm; this promises to set everyone on fire. Miracles will happen... Those unable to shake their waists will rise up and feel the beat.

With huge singles like Speed, Jim, Obangaina, Amazzi g’enyama to their latest hits..., this only once-in-a-life time show will rock everyone.

The question is: Where will you be when history is unfolding? Why short-change yourself to a lukewarm evening when you can actually celebrate life like never before?

Come live rent-free for a whole night on a floor that will explode into a raging dance fest of drums, reggae and afro pop!

If you have so little in terms of financial wealth; but so rich in spirit of togetherness, then for only R300, this will be an unforgettable night.

Special sitting for those who wish to be pampered will come at a cost of R500.

And if you are a scholar, for R150 only, you will have the best end-of-year party.

All these categories are available at all Computicket outlets countrywide, though doing it fast might save you from any regrets!

For me there has been only one BAND overs years that has remained transfixed in sheer perfection, great voices that come piercing through the illusion of daily life, its beauty and challenges. AFRIGO BAND...

Cu later in the week!
