The Little Giants, featuring singer Anathi Mobo, will be the next attraction at the 10th Fine Music Radio Take Note concert at Guga S’thebe on Sunday 28th January at 3pm.
The Little Giants was stablished in 1999 by local jazz icons, Ezra Ngcukana and George Werner.
This group’s repertoire of African standards, jazz standards, fusion and original material has wowed the crowds wherever they have played. The combination of traditional rhythms and a solid brass section has provided this group with a biggish band sound that is not often found in community projects of this nature.

At age 18 to the present, Anathi became the lead vocalist for the Little Giants Big Band, performing with them at the Standard bank National Youth Jazz festival in Grahamstown, the Tittiesbaai Jazz on the Rocks as well as Jazzathon – amongst many others.
