More about the showDiamonds & Dust starts off in the swinging 40s and 50s with the music of the pennywhistle, also known as Kwela. It progresses onto the period of Kwela Jazz, which was played on the saxophone rather than the pennywhistle, and then pays tribute to Miriam Makeba with The Click Song and Pata Pata. Other showstoppers include a Shosholoza/ Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika /Weeping medley presented in a beautiful accapella arrangement, and a powerful rendition of The Warrior and Mama Tembu's Wedding from the famous local musical Ipi Ntombi. The second half moves into more recent years where numbers like Paradise Road, African Dream, Impi, Diamonds On The Soles of Her Shoes, Jabulani and Great Heart are sure to raise the roof. Diamonds & Dust features a 12-member cast comprising six dynamic vocalists who get strong musical back-up from a six-piece band. Such was the success of Diamonds & Dust that it has toured internationally in recent years. After a very successful 3-month run in Holland, Denmark & Belgium the show also toured Turkey, Thailand, The Arab Emirate States and Zimbabwe.
