"The finest, most impressive folk poet in years" With a mesmerizing intensity, a unique voice, vision, guitar style and persona, Malawi born songman Tony Bird is a complete original. Growing up in southern Africa in the era of colonialism and Apartheid, Bird developed a sharp, conscious universal eye with an expansive repertoire, ranging from topical and historical commentary to love songs, musical tone poems and exotic travelogues that roam from bushmen to bicycles. Tony Bird has been called "The Father of African Folk-Rock." Yet, he is even more. He's an inventive, passionate and theatrical performer who delivers the moving, searching anthems of a mature poet. The extraordinary experience of a Bird concert is not to be missed. Tony Bird website: www.mangotime.net |
