ABOUT

Doc MacLean's fourth African tour, "N'ganga Blues," finds him returning to many of the places visited on his previous adventures. The "World's Biggest Little Blues Tour" will touch most parts of South Africa, covering some 20 thousand km by land, and will include some 60 shows.


Telling songs and singing stories. This blues came from the Mississippi delta. But before that, it came from Africa. Passed down from mouth to mouth. More than music. A placement of the human spirit. Doc's mentors were the grandchildren of slaves and he keeps their gifts close to the heart, and close to the Bone. N’ganga Blues celebrates this relationship and explores this continuing journey.


MacLean now mentors a number of local blues, roots and traditional artists, actively seeking opportunities for them to tour North America and elsewhere. N’ganga Blues will feature occasional, pop-up collaborations with these artists. Around the edges of this tour MacLean will co-write with Tim Parr and Albert Frost, and will record new album tracks with Frost in the producer’s chair. N’ganga Blues: witness a unique and mature artist at the height of his powers.


Join him @ The Centre Stage at 7pm. Meals available. Call 021 851 4696 for information.
