Tanga Bears live at the Centre for Jazz
Don't miss this unique chance to see and hear these exotic creatures performing their home-brew Swiss-Jazz – spicy funk, illicit grooves, and hybrid sound sculptures.
WILD animals roam only here in Africa? Wrong! In Tanga Zoo Swiss drummer, Andy Brugger, has united a few wild specimens of his own from Europe.
Andy Brugger is one of Switzerland’s most accomplished Jazz-and Funk-drummers, in addition to being a gifted teacher at the Zürich College for Music (ZHdK) for many years now. The Maestro is no stranger to South Africa – having toured the country twice, as well as instructing at the (then) University of Natal for three months.
His current band, Tanga Zoo, fascinates with its hypnotic grooves and virtuoso playing. It’s not jazz, it’s not funk – it’s both. But you won’t be missing some soulful melodies either. In the music of Tanga Zoo, you will hear the melting of Swiss Chocolate mixed with the power of wild Swiss mountain-animals. The music has nothing to do Tango, the music of Argentina.
Don’t miss this unique chance to see and hear these exotic creatures performing their home-brew Swiss-Jazz – spicy funk, illicit grooves, and hybrid sound sculptures. Andy Brugger (drums), Jean-Pierre Schaller (bass), André Kunz (guitar), Marc Jufer (reeds) and Kriz «Flew» Flueler (trumpet/electronics) at The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music, Level 2 Shepstone Building at UKZN Howard College Campus on Wednesday, 15 February.
