Napo Masheane and Friends is a cumulating showpiece altered from its 2008 run, paying homage to the development and fortification of spoken word. This scintillating production unequivocally weds spoken word with smooth tunes of Afro-Jazz and soulful spiritual sounds of Gospel. For the first time, Napo Masheane will collaborate on stage with Ladies in Jazz, rejuvenating the music language with layers of experience and life profoundly lived. The twist that will be brought is that of an all male a ccapella group Beyond Vocal, which will be infusing their unique Gospel sounds with the oral tradition poetry while Fat Black Women Sing will bring a sense of beauty and humour within spoken word.
All this will be taking place this week at the Soweto Theatre on at 20:00 on Thursday, 2 and 18:00 on Sunday, 5 April, with the theme of the event being ‘Poetry meets Gospel and Jazz’.
Bookings can be made via the Soweto Theatre website or by calling 074 308 4743.
