talented and diverse musicians from South Africa, Mozambique
and Zimbabwe. Fronted by the diminutive but dynamic Zolani
Mahola, the band exudes a live performance energy that has been
the bedrock of their success. Although hailing from diverse

magic that is highly infectious and undeniably groovy.

John Witherspoon is a comedy institution. Most people know
him from TV and movies -- he’s the crazy father figure from
"Friday," "The Wayans Brothers" and "The Boondocks." He’ll
do anything to entertain his fans – he once cut a rap album,
and he had his own internet cooking show. The guy could live
off catchphrases alone, if he wanted. But he's also a great
stand-up comedian who's endearing, honest and knows how
to send a crowd home happy.
