Subject: Black Umfolosi 5 in a folk club??? From: Vic Smith Date: 09 Apr 10 - 11:06 AM Well why not? The Royal Oak Station Street Lewes East Sussex BN7 2DA Phone 01273 478124 or email folk@brighton.co.uk to arrange your advance tickets. Black Umfolosi were formed in 1982 by school friends in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, who named themselves after the Umfolozi Omnyama River in South Africa- to where their ancestors can be traced. In 2009 The Black Umfolosi 5 continue to present their spectacular songs and dances thrilling audiences worldwide with a NEW LINE-UP. Their performances are energy driven and completely engaging, mixing a great gentleness of spirit and song with an exuberance in dance. Their trademark harmonies mixed with intricate rhythms, clicking and clapping are highlighted during their brilliantly choreographed shows with a full range of movements from subtle to vibrant stomping and leaping! Their famous Gumboot Dances showcase the traditional styles and rituals of the South African mining regions and are a particular crowd pleaser. |

From: Nick Date: 09 Apr 10 - 12:59 PM Some years ago I was in a pub in Thirsk on a Thursday night for a sing and they were visiting as they had been touring schools doing performances. They came down and sang in the bar and joined in with the things that we sang. Really nice bunch of people as well as singing very well. |
