The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music at the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Howard College campus in Durban hosts Roots Alive on Tuesday, August 30 at 6 pm.

Roots Alive is the City of Leeds youth music folk group. Its talented young musicians come from all over Leeds in England to play traditional dance tunes and songs from the United Kingdom and North West Europe.

Currently Roots Alive consists of 13 young people aged between 12 and 18. Three of its members play in the National Youth Folk Ensemble.

Roots Alive, which has performed in festivals throughout Europe, frequently performs professionally, delivering dances for people celebrating weddings, significant birthdays and anniversaries.

This summer Roots Alive is making its second trip to South Africa for workshops and concerts, sharing traditional song and dance with several schools in Durban.’
