We ran into a cacophony of bad luck and unfortunately have had to make the hard decision of cancelling this year’s Fête de la Musique. We are not going to give up, and are working towards the biggest one ever, next year in June 2023! We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your continued support.

Playing this Friday, 18 June, as part of the Fête de la Musique Southern Africa, Abahambayo from the Alliance Francaise De Durban.

Abahambayo are Frankie Buthelezi on vocals, Nhlanhla Zondi on guitar and vocals, Barry Clausen on bass and Oudskül on percussion. They have been performing around KwaZulu-Natal for three years, from the mountains to the sea. Their music is the embodiment of the land, its people, their dreams and the pulse of life.

Abahambayo are a musical group that aims at preserving African folk music by fusing modern jazz and pop technique to appeal to almost everyone who comes across the music and those wanting to learn about the past and current history of the Zulu folk.

Abahambayo are a highly polished professional outfit who can go from set-up to soundcheck and be performing within fifteen minutes of arrival at the venue. They have a catalogue of original material broad and varied enough to entertain any mood and the energy to change the mood when the mood needs to get its dancing shoes on and boogie on down to b***y shakin’ African rhythms.
