Engelbert Humperdinck visits SA
JOBURG - A legend is set to come to South African stages and he's got people all over the country talking about it.
Engelbert Humperdinck, the unforgettable Quando, Quando, Quando singer, will make his way to South Africa for a three-show tour.
Set to take the stage at Grand West Casino for one night only and making his way swiftly on to Montecasino for two nights, the legend is soon to perform hits including The Last Waltz and Release Me on South African soil.
The Engelbert Calling concerts offer local fans the opportunity to enjoy the music of this famous music icon up close and personal while live in concert as he performs many of his evergreen hits.
“I can’t wait to go back to South Africa,” said Humperdinck.
“I have some wonderful memories from past concerts in your country. I would like to show people what I’m doing now including my new duet album called Engelbert Calling.”
Humperdinck has recorded everything from the most romantic ballads to the platinum-selling theme song Lesbian Seagull for the recent Beavis and Butthead movie.
His remarkable voice and extraordinary talent have endeared him to millions of fans around the globe with the MTV generation having just ‘discovered’ what a magnificent musician the rest of the world has celebrated for decades.
Few people realise that several of the major forces in the world of rock ‘n roll, including Jimi Hendrix and The Carpenters, started out as opening acts for Humperdinck in the late 60s, 70s and 80s.
Romance serves as the core of Humperdinck’s music and lasting success. He knows how to pick songs with eternal themes of love and longing, and lovers always want to hear them sung.
The legend, who boasts a significant number of awards and accolades, has, in the past few years, joined an elite group of musical artists such as Tony Bennett and Burt Bacharach, who have crossed over successfully to strike a new chord with a younger generation in addition to their core audiences.
Mr Quando Quando Quando takes to South African stages in November, so don’t miss out.
