amaFranx with Ronan Skillen and Ronald at 20:00
Extraordinary musical interpretations celebrating the nature of South Africa from fretless acoustic to 6 string bass accompanying a dynamic baritone voice. Franco amaFranx gives lasting goose bumps to a music loving audience and exhibits a unique and classy musical style. Ronan Skillen is inspired by global sounds and grooves from Mali to Memphis and Mumbai. His flair for improvisation began with the didgeridoo, and his later schooling in Indian classical music have shaped a wide palette of textural percussive sounds , incorporating tabla and a hybrid percussion kit. Ronald the cello master and creative whirlwind is a force of strings that can provide an unbelievable symphonic sound from a humble stage chair. These three quake together a performance that is far beyond the sum of total members. The latest amaFranx album (in the Kingdom of the Aloës) has been nominated for SAMA 27 best Adult Contemporary
