The aca-Thatu acappella assembly - extra-special Friday Lunch Hour Concert

The Old Mutual Theatre on the Square lunch hour musical programme for 2012 will end on a high note with a dynamic concert for the start of the holiday season. This non classical concert is aimed at families, students and all lovers of exciting new musical voices. aca-Thatu, an acappella superstar quartet, discovered by Maverick Warehouse during a nationwide talent search for an international musical, will be on stage for a unusual concert on

December 14th at the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square.

Maverick Warehouse has as part of its business philosophy a firm commitment to developing and nurturing new musical and performing talent. The directors were so taken with the group that they immediately became part of the Maverick Warehouse talent incubator. The directors have worked with the trio for a period of a year and proudly announce their arrival as a force to be reckoned with on the South African entertainment scene.

“During the rehearsal process the trio of Sbusiso Shozi, Freedom Mswane and Mfundo Msibi brought along a guitar playing friend Mbulaza Khumalo. His clear falsetto and acoustic guitar playing added such a lovely dimension to the group that we decided we had to make him a permanent feature”

aca-Tathu which is a play on the word acappella

and in Zulu means….. “there are three” became a quartet.

Making maximum use of their huge range and enormous versatility, their diverse repertoire spans 50’s style close harmony groups, Barber Shop Quartet sounds, Sophia-Town cadences and traditional Zulu love songs. They have embraced the works of contemporary artists like Adele and blended local and American gospel…. and thrown in a few instantly recognizable hits from the likes of Billy Joel, Adele, Ceelo Green and one or two lovely surprises.
