Celebrating Miriam Makeba's legacy with Naarm/Melbourne's finest artists.Experience an electrifying celebration of South Africa's township sounds and the enduring legacy of revered singer and civil rights activist Miriam Makeba. Presented by Stani Goma (PBS's Flight 1067 To Africa) and performed by a collective of acclaimed Melbourne-based African musicians, this concert weaves the joyful rhythms of marabi, kwela, and mbaqanga with fresh interpretations of Makeba's most iconic songs.
Witness the irresistible groove of Pata Pata, the soaring emotion of Malaika, and the playful vocal brilliance of The Click Song, all reimagined with contemporary flair. An immersive musical journey that honours tradition while pushing it boldly forward, this performance not only pays tribute to Makeba's artistry but also highlights the creativity and innovation of Melbourne's African music community.
Uplifting, soulful, and deeply connected to its roots, Mama Africa - Our Kind of Jazz invites audiences to experience African jazz as both cultural heritage and a vibrant living art form.
