About
A double-billing of wonderful Afro-soul makes you relax, dance and smile. Congolese Gasandji and South-African Nomfusi charm the Huvila crowd with soulful music and sunny vibes.
The evening starts off with Gasandji bringing to the stage phenomenal style, a pinch of funk and a fistful of afro-jazz atmosphere. Singing in English, French and the Congolese language Lingala, Gasandji spreads the universal message of love and mutual understanding.
Taking the stage in the second half, Nomfusi’s fiery soul, openness in performance and incredible voice are reminiscent of a young Miriam Makeba – with a funky Motown twist. Enriched by her history, from shanty town roots to being a warm-up act for Lionel Richie, this singer’s joie de vivre and energy will conquer your heart....
