Mothers move to Mango Groove
Don't miss this year's Mother's Day concert at the Durban Botanic Gardens.
ON Mother’s Day, Sunday, 11 May, music lovers can join Mango Groove at the Durban Botanic Gardens to honour and celebrate mothers at the Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert at 2.30pm.
“As a mother, this is one of the holidays that is nearest and dearest to my heart and I’m happy to spend it with moms and their families, at the garden,” commented Claire Johnston, Mango Groove lead vocalist.
The band’s unique flavour and majestic blend of native South African sounds, such as marabi and kwela, fused with contemporary and pop influences will fill the Durban Botanic Gardens. The mesh of the pennywhistle, the big brass arrangements, harmonies and gumboot rhythms overlaid with the angelic voice of Johnston results in a sound that is uniquely distinctive.
The Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert series has, in the past, brought world class acts and musicians that coin the word legend such as four time Grammy Award winners, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Johnny Clegg, and Mango Groove is no different.
