Event information
Ever-evolving ensemble Madame Freak premieres a new sound with Afro-art rock singer Dhababu, jazz keyboardist Nicky Bremer, and founder Jane Mayne on lead guitar.
Founded by Mayne and drummer Karen Rutter, the band has collaborated with many artists to produce new worlds of sound, with Dhababu (Qondéa Avril Mkansi) and Bremer the latest additions to this list. Featuring an original playlist of instrumental and vocal tracks, the group’s fusion repertoire explores jazz rock, peppered with mbaqanga and other nuances from across South African music. From bossas to ballads, Madame Freak delivers a musical fusion experience that transcends traditional genres.
