Durban - The Warmest Place To Be presents feast of music at the Rainbow Restaurant – March 24.
In recognition of Human Rights Day in South Africa and as one of the official welcoming events for delegates to the Fifth BRICS Summit, Durban - The Warmest Place To Be presents a feast of music at the Rainbow Restaurant in Pinetown on Sunday, March 24 at 2pm.
The first performance starts at 2pm with deep jazz as Burton Naidoo's Musical Democracy quintet takes to the stage. This will be followed by a set from five-piece afro-beat outfit Tanga Pasi who hail from the Kalanga region of Zimbabwe and who will be making their third appearance at the Rainbow. For this performance the audience will get to hear the sounds of their debut full length album, Ntolontolo - A Long Time Ago. From there it’s "sho't left" to the unique sounds of Dr. Fly and The Nurses, an a capella trio in the tradition of the Andrew Sisters featuring the vocal talents of Sophie Basckin, Jessica Sole and Natalie Shama. Then it will be time for a "beega party" with electro-percussion trio Napalma fronted by Mozambican born/Brazilian raised vocalist Ivo Maia with Brazil's Cid Travaglia driving hard on djembe.
“The best part of it all is that with the kind and generous support of the Ethekwini Municipality we are able to use this event as a fundraiser for the Rainbow's charity of choice, the Open Door Crises Centre which is based in Pinetown and offers invaluable assistance to the victims of human trafficking and abuse. All monies raised from ticket sales will be donated to Open Door.” says Neil Comfort of the Rainbow.
Doors open at 1pm and tickets are R40 at the door. For more info contact the Rainbow on 083 706 2294 or 083 4638044.

Pole by Andrew Verster
POLE DANCERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS - the invitation popped up on my screen.
What occasion of mine would need a pole dancer I wondered? A poetry reading at St. Clements? Coffee and croissants at the Alliance? The opening of GANDHI at ArtSpace? An evening at home watching television?
I deleted the offer. But the next day another email arrived offering a thirty percent discount if I chose a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
I sensed desperation. Perhaps it’s a fallow time for pole-dancing? Their heyday was in the late nineties. Could they be staging a come-back?
Watch this space for developments.
