Media Release - Celebrate Heritage Day 2010 with R.Y.T.H.M

On Thursday, 23rd September at 20h00 R.Y.T.H.M (Reaching Youth Through Music) together with the Baxter Theatre in Rondebosch will be hosting Duke Ngcukana and his band, musician and cultural purveyor Errol Dyers, Johannesburg-based trumpeter Feya Faku, as well as jazz vocalist extraordinaire Gloria Bosman.

R.Y.T.H.M was formed in 2009; the group, largely made up of students from the South African College of Music at the University of Cape Town, aims to celebrate local jazz legends, but most importantly endeavors to help the youth discover our rich musical heritage.

For this year's event, R.Y.T.H.M is largely funded by the South
African-Norwegian music corporation, MMINO.

The program for this year's concert will be particularly special as we pay tribute to three legends; Winston Mankunku, Robbie Jansen and Ezra Ngcukana, who recently passed away.

The concert will be held in conjunction with music and cultural workshops on Heritage Day,  24 September 2010, facilitated by Little Giants director, George Werner. Workshops will focus on the history of jazz in South Africa, the personal stories and experience of South African Jazz Legends, as well as showcasing South African Jazz Music.

R.Y.T.H.M will provide transport for 120 children from high schools on the Cape Flats to the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.

Tickets for the Our Music concert are available at Computicket: R80 for adults and R60 for students/pensioners.
