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).
