One night only in Hammarsdale
Tickets for the show are available at the door, at webtickets or at Pick n Pay.
TALENTED vocalist, Lu Dlamini, will be performing at Seaman’s Corner, Hammarsdale for one performance only on Saturday, 28 November.
This performance is supported by Concerts SA and brought to you by iSupport.
Concerts SA is a joint South African/Norwegian initiative that aims to stimulate live music in South Africa by finding and implementing ways to create regular, sustainable performance platforms. It also aims to develop an interest in and appreciation of live music by showcasing music performances and conducting workshops at schools.
No stranger to the stage, whenever talented Lu Dlamini performs the audience is transfixed by her music and carried on a magical journey. She is influenced by her journey in life and – to a lesser degree – by the many artists she has worked with in her career. It is mostly traditional African music influences such as amahubo, umakhweyana and isichathamiya that speak to her as a vocalist and composer. There is also a little bit of umubholoho (african choral) and an afro jazz element to her sound.
Acoustic by nature, her music features exquisite instrumentation by the likes of Sbusiso Zondi on drums, Mazwakhe Gumede on bass and Barney Bophela on keys.
A product of the esteemed Inanda Seminary, Lu Dlamini moved to Johannesburg and enrolled at Fuba Arts College to study music. It did not take the Johannesburg music fraternity long to realise that this was an exceptional voice. Soon she was in Kamazu’s band, then with Ali Katt, then with Brenda Fassie, where she stayed for three years.
At the same time she was acting in Zikhethele 3, which was a TV youth series that was the South African equivalent to the American Fame. This was followed by a 10-year stint in the band of Sipho Hotstix Mabuse. With this band, Lu toured all over the world and gained vast amounts of experience on stage as well as in the recording studio. When her schedule with Hotstix allowed she would also work with Sankomota and Mango Groove, among others.
Doors open at 7pm and tickets are R30. Tickets can be bought at the door, on www.webtickets.co.za or at Pick n Pay.
