Milkyway Galaxy is the ‘newest’ kid on the block. This band kept the audience well entertained at the BAT Centre Friday Sundowners. We do not have the Durban Jazz Awards yet but if those awards were to be initiated today, Milkyway Galaxy would win most awards on the night. Their sound is clear and unique, the arrangements to the popular sing along jazz and soul tunes is exceptional. Each member of the band is on top of their game and they are such fun to watch. It is good to see a band that marvels on every performance. This time, the band had invited guest artists, Bongumusa Hlongwane and Kelo K. The rest of the band comprised of Sbonelo Nxumalo on keys, Blessing Twala on bass and Mzamo Zungu on drums. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3866954360011351&id=556100567763430
