MARIMBA BAND
FRESH CREW PRODUCTION - Marimba Band
FRESH CREW PRODUCTION is a Johannesburg based black owned and black managed art emporium incorporated in 2016. They produce straight plays, sketch comedy shows, poetry, All African Dance (including modern, tap, contemporary, & Afro Fusion dance) AND a Marimba band with brilliant instrumentalists in performance productions.
The contemporary voice is their priority.
They speak to the current time, and very often from the alternative view - a regurgitated saturation of mainstream material is not in their realm of practice.
Their deep focus as a company is on addressing youth unemployment and drug use amongst the youth.
