The Metrophones put up an impressive performance on Sunday night at Cresta President Hotel. The 10-member band performed at the monthly ‘Jazz Exchange with Rahman’.

In the one and half hours performance the band kept the usually reserved crowd dancing. The show kick-started at 1900hrs with a performance of Music In The Air by the band’s three saxophonists, Akhutleleng Mogami, Tracy Bortsie, Lucas Moeng, drummer Wynton Senwelo and keyboardist Moemedi Tumagole.  Their song set the tone for the night. 

Vocalists, Tumisang Mathiessen, Zuziwe Mavuma and Letlotlo Dikgang followed up with a performance of On And On. The song has many different cover versions but on the night the band performed a completely new one (version) they described as their ‘very own’. The next performance was of a song called Unbreakable by the lead singer of the group Mavuma who, to the delight of the crowd, was accompanied by Bortsie on the sax.
