Monday Blues News - 07 December

07/12 the “all together now” mood began, Ralph opened the stage with an amazing solo act guitaring (acoustic) and Jannous couldn’t help but join in with another acoustic guitar rigging harmonies. The poet Bheki laced some words over the music.

Sliq Angel with no hesitation went up did a super medley playing portions of Roots 2000 songs, skipping to Xhosa traditional songs… DOPE. Poetry extraordinaire Hlubi (First time on the Monday Blues stage), rendered a superb performance, there after followed Kabelo Mofokeng who blessed us with 1950’s poetry style by his acute vocab with that Sophiatown style emphasizing on words creating a rhythm at the same time adding a bit of modern poetry flow using Sotho, Tsotsi taal and the Queens language all at once! A true poetry evolution.

Sindi Simpson later came on and did a wonderful blues / poetry backed by a band: drums, base, acoustic guitar and keys. Candi Brown who’s also part of Dr Badela, also came on stage, freestyle singing and harmonizing… Jerome on basse, Asiah and Raphael jammed heavy sounds. Thuli the lead singer then did some already prepared four song set with Brett Alexander on basse, Asiah on drums and Raphael on lead guitar...SUPER!

To prove that Monday Blues is an integration platform, a non-stop Grande finale / jam session started, reflecting true musicianship among artists. Sliq Angel on electric guitar this time with Jerome on basse, Asiah on drums, Jannous on percussion and Sipho on keys… the arts were over flowing! Amazing!

So, don’t disappear in joining us at the next Monday Blues show… 14 December
