uShaka Marine World will be alive with music on Sunday, February 20 when the Afro-operatic pop sensation the Gugulethu Tenors takes to the Upper Deck. This one-night-only performance will not only launch the foursome’s album, The Gugulethu Tenors, in KZN, but show Durbanites just why they shone during the 2010 Soccer World Cup and captured the imagination of dignitaries and superstars such as Oprah Winfrey and Mariah Carey.
In the picture: The Gugulethu Tenors, Mpendulo Yawa, Loyiso Dlova, Xolani November and Siyabulela Gqola.
The Gugulethu Tenors have been described as “South Africa’s Il Divo”, “Pavarotti’s Children” and “the Diamond of the Township”. Group members Mpendulo Yawa, Siyabulela Gqola, Xolani November and Loyiso Dlova will share their love of opera, African medleys and gospel. Songs will include original compositions O Afrika! and Nyamezela, operatic favourites such as O Sole Mio, Nessun Dorma and Nella Fantasia and contemporary numbers such as The Prayer, Miriam Makeba’s Pata Pata and Gé Korsten’s Liefling.
When: 6pm, February 20
Venue: Upper Deck
