South Africa s top musical production Diamonds & Dust has been invited by the South African Embassy to tour Thailand in May 2006.
Diamonds & Dust is a cosmopolitan rather than an ethnic show, featuring instantly recognisable songs that are now an intrinsic part of South African history.
It starts off in the swinging 40s and 50s with the music of the pennywhistle and progresses onto the period of Kwela Jazz before paying tribute to Miriam Makeba with The Click Song and Pata Pata. Other showstoppers include a Tshotsholoza/Nkosi Sikelela/Weeping medley presented in a beautiful accapella arrangement, and a powerful rendition of The Warrior and Mama Tembu's Wedding from the famous South African musical Ipi Tombi.

The second half moves into more recent years where numbers like Paradise Road, African Dream, Impi, Diamonds On The Soles Of My Shoes, Jabulani and Meadowlands are sure to raise the roof.
Diamonds & Dust features a 12-piece cast which features six vocalists, lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboards, saxophone and trumpet.
