Andrew Young plays sax in the city
Andrew Young will be making waves at this rustic beach venue with a performance crammed with spicy salsas, hot mambas, reggae, rhythm and romance.
ENJOY an irresistible combination of summer, sax and salsa as saxophonist, Andrew Young, performs at Wahooz on the Promenade on Sunday, 1 March between 1pm and 4pm.
Known as the ‘Prince of the Saxophone’ worldwide, Young is the next best thing to a homegrown talent. He was a member of the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra and has performed with local musical greats, such as Joseph Shabalala from Ladysmith Black Mambazo and James Galway.
Born in England, Young was classically trained in both clarinet and saxophone from the tender age of eight. After completing his studies in London he moved to Germany, where he explored other genres of music, performing at numerous concerts, functions and events across Europe. By the time he’d released nine albums, Young had added an African note to his repertoire and brought out his beloved sax at many music festivals in South Africa including The International Jazz Festival (Cape Town), Jazzathon (Cape Town), JPL Jazz Festival (Durban), National Arts Festival (Grahamstown) and the Rand Easter Show (Johannesburg).
Entrance is free and music lovers can look forward to a sultry afternoon of great food, chilled drinks and a unique mix of music that will include well-loved songs such as Georgia, Baker Street and Still Got the Blues.
