In 1997, actor/singer Faca Kulu scooped a lead role in the original production of Disney's The Lion King, on Broadway in New York. While in New York, he taught a master class in African singing and culture which won him a cultural outstanding award, in 1999, from the Harlem community.
Yes, Kulu has a theatrical CV as long as your arm and now he's directing his show Native Blues at the Catalina Theatre, running from Thursday to November 2.
Kulu describes his show as "a musical integration of sounds from different walks of life interpreted by the natives dwelling and working the city of Durban in the late 50s and throughout the decades that follow".
The a cappella musical comedy is based on "the fond reminiscences of two old men who are the former members of an a cappella musical group - Native Blues".
