Friday Nite LIVE! 12 July – Habit To

Habit To kick off Friday Nite LIVE! on 12 July with Chillie Stent on vocals and guitar; Dang Wardell on the drums; and Al Meyer on bass. This trio of talented artists create one harmonious blend of New Age Rock music.

In 2006 the band won the Durban Burn the Bands competition. Their debut album, ‘Secrets to a Triangle’ received much acclaim and their single ‘Cast in Stone’ received extensive radio airplay, while the music video for ‘Gratitude’ was put into rotation on Go TV, MK and MTV Base.

Saturday 13 July – Shamanzi

Taking center stage on Saturday 13 July is Shamanzi, a World-Tribal-Trance and Afro-Ska-Pixie-Rock fusion band. The band mostly performs as a duo with artists Lah (Lauren) and Davide Tumso, who together form the core of Shamazi Naked.

In the mid 1990's Davide played with Asazi and co-founded electro-organic band Nagual. Davide has played with Madala Kunene, Kwangoma and founded Shamanzi for the Awesome Africa music event in 2001.

Shamanzi was birthed as fringe alternative world sound and has performed at functions and festivals including Rustlers Valley, Flux, Southern Cross, featured slot at Splashy Fen, Earthdance CT and Rocking the Daisies.

Using instruments like the loop pedal, acoustic and electric guitar and world music instruments like sangoma drum, bamboo flutes and pipes, berimbau, mhupe, timbila, and kolongo; Shamanzi is set to create a great vibe for market goers this weekend.
