Details

Mbawula are a wondorous meeting of Basie, Ellington, African Township and Jive Music. The brain-child of Jools Hollands' former arranger and saxophonist Paul Bartholomew, Mbawula features a welter of great individual musicians who combine to produce a truly funky, highly rhythmic and beautifully played show that speaks to the head, heart and feet. It's no wonder Mbawula were chosen, alongside Ladysmith Black Mambazo, to entertain Nelson Mandela at London's Freedom South Africa Day. A joyous fusion of South African dance grooves, great singing and big jazz-style band arrangements. Mbawula website.
