Nomfusi
- Sunday 19 May 22:20 - 23:20 (NIKKO)
Sparkling funk and gospel from South Africa
Singer and songwriter Nomfusi grew up in the infamous townships (slums) of South Africa. Inspired by her musical mother, Nomfusi developed a great love for singing and dancing. Nowadays the musician is an artist of stature: it is not without reason that she shared the stage with big stars such as Angelique Kidjo, Lionel Richie and Hugh Masekela.
Her thunderous performances are a feast for the eyes and ears. Nomfusi's music is a sparkling mixture of various African styles and a fusion of soul and funk with a touch of gospel. And even if you don't comprehend her socially conscious lyrics, Nomfusi's sunny sounds leave you with a happy and positive feeling.
During Music Meeting the essence of Mother Africa and the spirit of Motown soul come together. A powerful voice, special charm and a load of passion wrapped in a refreshing explosion of energy called Nomfusi.
