The Rhythms of Zimbabwe Return

Mittagong Playhouse Sat Sept 10th

It was almost 4 years ago when the Chris Gudu Band sold out the Mittagong Playhouse during the tour of Chris’s earlier album Bavimbeni. Chris Gudu and his band return to the Southern Highlands with their unmistakable township jive music. As before, this Mittagong Playhouse concert is part of their album launch. This time the Chris Gudu Band is proud to unveil their brand new album Imnandi which was produced by the lead guitarist Michael Coggins.

 

Southern Highlands based all women group Rapunzel’s Party will be performing as special guests.

 

Rapunzel’s Party are Helen Archer, Louise Bell, Margaret Bradley, Geralyn Cheers and Olive Hodgson. Along with soaring vocal harmonies, these versatile women play guitar, flute, harp, recorder, tin whistle and percussion with passion and sensitivity. They perform a compelling and constantly evolving array of songs and music, exploring themes of love, life and liberation.

 

With an enchanting blend of styles including acappella, celtic, soul, folk rock and world music, they entertain with unique interpretation of songs from many sources as well as creative original compositions.

 

Chris Gudu describes them as “rather very special guests” following the amount of fun that both the bands and the audience had at the previous concert at the Mittagong Playhouse. The two groups coming together promises to be a great night of entertainment not to be missed.
