Internationally acclaimed Afro Soul band, The Muffinz, will perform live in Gqeberha at The Music Kitchen on June 16.

The Music Kitchen is a versatile live music event venue which regularly hosts top international acts and many local favourites. It is a 120-seater venue with fully licensed restaurant, coffee shop and pub. The Music Kitchen also has new accommodation available on site.

The Muffinz have unleashed their mysteriously beautiful world of eclectic soul to the South African public, and they are set for world domination.

The music of The Muffinz is so new, yet so soulful, so accessible, so honest and so innocent, that it appeals to all age groups, races, classes, and sexes.

The five young musicians make a refreshing change from the usual run of the mill rappers and house DJs, who are currently dominating the popular music scene, in that they play real instruments – and play them well. Added to that, all five musicians are great singers in their different genres of expertise.

The lead electric guitarist and vocalist is Atomza (Sifiso Buthelezi). His voice is best described as a young Michael Jackson meets Usher with a twist of rock. Drummer Keke (Gregory Mabusela) then enters with his Senegalese meets rumba vocals. The band switches from a groovy R&B rhythm led by acoustic guitarist, Mthae (Mthabisi Sibanda), and bassist, Skabz (Karabo Moeketsi), to a classy jazz guitar sound introduced by electric guitarist and a capella singer, Simz (Simphiwe Kulla) – lead electric guitar/vocalist. And that, by the way, is just on one song!

That is why, to explain the band, they decided to call themselves The Muffinz.

They wanted a name that would be remembered, something catchy but a name that people would want to find out more about. They all come from different backgrounds musically, and so they all bring different ingredients – as in the ingredients in a muffin.

Do not miss out on this amazing event. Tickets are priced at R220 per person. The show starts at 18:00 on June 16, at The Music Kitchen, 69 Mangold Street, Newton Park, Gqeberha.
