Singing with Soul

The Como Mamas
Singing with Soul might sound a bit cliché to some, but the phrase appropriately describes the down-home gospel sound of The Como Mamas.

The three life-long African-American gospel singers have sauntered in from the small Delta town of Como, Mississippi. Their new, critically acclaimed album “Get an Understanding” features only three instruments — the powerful, raspy voice of Ester Mae Smith, the deep soothing sounds of Angela Taylor and the energetic, spirited vocals of Della Daniels.

Recently featured at SXSW 2013(South By Southwest) music festival in Austin Texas, the group garnered huge audience followings that led to being voted one of the festival’s top 3 acts.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the spirit and soul of the Delta. The harmonies of the Como Mamas are so powerful, musical accompaniment will not be missed. And neither should this Sunday, May 5 show. Music begins at 3 p.m., at the Ann Marks Performing Arts Center. 

Tickets ($12.50 adults; $7 students) are available at area Brownsville banks, Livingston’s or from the Arts Council office (731.772.4883).
