The Kwela Swingsters are Australia’s leading exponents of Kwela (South African penny whistle jive) music! Andy Rigby’s Kwela Swingsters play township jive from 1960s South Africa. Bring your dancing shoes and swing moves as the pennywhistles, horns and irresistible rhythm section play tunes such as the Casanova Jump, and Polly sings swing era standards. Featuring Strat and Lyndal on horns, Jug-man Gavan on the double bass, Misja Carbo on guitar and Steve Schultz on drums, we bring the Kwela groove to you, from Jo’burg via Victoria.
