Monday Blues News - 18 January 2010
Firstly, Monday Blues takes this opportunity to thank everyone who's supported the movement all these years.
Well, the first Monday Blues of the year 2010 kicked off with a bang. First up on stage was Mak Manaka, who blessed us all with wonderful poetry. Dressed urban and telling a bit of the city stories he's experienced ... and when it comes to words, he's a marvel.
Next up was Durel's Steady Rock: a positive messaged highly musical black rock band reigning from Soweto. Sindi Simpson came later with matured melodies that had a twist of street lang and good unpredictable concepts. Nina followed on comedy, experimenting on conscious comedy which was engaging because you'd decipher the intellect in the humour.
A young poet Bezi later came on and did her first ever performance, performing poetry. It was a good way of testing waters and thanks to the crowd of the day for accepting her into the performance world.
Steady Rock did another three songs to showcase some of the songs on the latest album Agent Provocatare Music- Crazy! The best or the highlight of the day was Kgomotso Tsatsi who sang beautifully while playing acoustic guitar overwhelmingly great. Such an unimaginable talent right in front of our eyes. SA has great artists. Kgomotso Tsatsi affirmed that SA still breeds great artists... and Monday Blues attracts all that. Later THABS and Mpho duo went on stage performing harmonies from the youngsters.
A big thank you to some of SA's icons that were present Steve Koena Mokoena, legendary Peter Makurube, Andile Magengelele and the list goes on. It gets better every week, so make sure you're there this coming Monday, 25 January 2010 at Belavista. Nina is back on comedy, Joy of Jozi, poetry, jam sessions, open mic and so much more.
