The Rockettz New Generation band will perform at The Drama Factory in Strand next month with a mixture of past and present hits.
Backed by a formidable band of talented musicians, Manuel Losper, lead vocalist of The Rockettz New Generation band, takes centre stage, to transport the audience on a nostalgic musical journey infused with a harmonious blend of old and new featuring popular medleys, timeless old school and R & B hits, Pop, Rock, Ballads, Reggae and South African classics, as well as a few current, trending hits.
Do you recall The Rockets, South Africa’s enduring musical force that spanned from 1968 into the 2020s? Following the untimely passing of the late Jerry Watt, Manuel Losper and the other band members who performed with Jerry before his passing, rebranded and emerged as The Rockettz New Generation.
Embarking on an exciting new chapter, this ensemble is ushering in a fresh era under the leadership of Manuel, one of South Africa’s premier male vocalists.
With The Rockettz New Generation, Manuel envisions leading the band to new heights, maintaining a harmonious blend of old and new.
The release of 2 new singles, a beautiful ballad, Believe in Love Again, penned by Manuel, and a collaboration, I’m in Love with Dr Victor’, has injected fresh energy into the band and an appearance on Expresso in September 2023, has elevated the band’s profile.
The audience can look forward to hearing popular medleys featuring the hits of Queen, Toto, Peter Cetera, George Benson, Prince, Bryan Adams and more, as well as The Rockets’ well-known medleys and old school songs.
The shows are on Friday March 1, at 7.30pm at and Saturday March 2, at 7.30pm. Tickets cost R180 and R200.
