Bala Brothers

 These three extraordinary brothers from South Africa -Loyiso, Zwai and Phelo - combine operatic voices, richharmonies, R&B energy and traditional South Africanmelodies and rhythms into something entirely unique. They broke the color barrier of the famous DrakensbergBoys' Choir during the depths of Apartheid, they headlinedat the Cape Town Stadium tribute to Nelson Mandela in2013, and here they perform an inspiring live program ofmusic ranging from the Lion King to Paul Simon, in theirhometown Johannesburg's beautiful Lyric Theatre. As a tribute to the late South African President NelsonMandela, the Bala Brothers perform the Labi Siffre classic,"Something Inside So Strong", a moving moment in theprogram made all the more poignant by the presence ofWinnie Mandela in the audience. The concert is now a major PBS pledge show runningthrough the end of March. Tour dates coming for May, and again in the Fall.
