Natalie Rungan's five-city tour

Natalie Rungan will be embarking on a five-city national tour, beginning at La Lunar Lounge, Joburg, on 2 June, 2011, in support of her second album, "Natalie ... This Is Me".

Rungan's band comprises Burton Naidoo on piano, Bruce Baker on drums, Dane Francis on guitar and Mazwakhe Gumede on bass.

The majority of the songs on the new CD were written by Rungan and she makes use of her versatile vocal skill and range, to explore new sounds and styles. "This album is a dichotomy of sounds - a combination of jazz and pop reflecting the various influences in me," she said. Also appearing are special guests John Ellis on guitar, Kwaito star Mandoza on vocals and American saxophonist Gerald Albright.

  • 2 June: La Lunar Lounge, Joburg
