What do Daft Punk, One Republic, Queen, Led Zeppelin,Whitesnake, Chuck Berry and U2 have in common? Apart from being some of the top rock/pop artist, their songs are all part of this year’s Strummin’ set list… together with more artists, of course.
Now in its 14th edition, Strummin’ is the biggest project by Żgħażagħ Ħaddiema Nsara, one that ensures an unforgettable night filled with sounds from a band, accompanied by a guitar ensemble of around 60 guitarists, polished to perfection to emulate some of the greatest contributors to music after months of preparation.
As in previous years, all proceeds gathered will endorse a worthy cause. Last year, Strummin’ collected funds for Dr Klown. This year’s proceeds will go towards supporting St Jeanne Antide Foundation and their Surviving Abuse With Resilience (Soar) programme, aimed at victims of violence in families and relationships.
Strummin’s ensemble includes musicians and singers from diverse backgrounds and musical experience. Newbie musicians and singers rub shoulder to shoulder with more experienced ones to deliver a feel-good show to an ever increasing audience. Testament to Strummin’s increasing profile was its inclusion in two top events this year: The Farsons Great Beer Festival and Rockestra as the sole supporting act in the event.
Strummin’s What a Feeling takes place on Friday and Saturday at 8pm at the Sir Temi Zammit Hall, University of Malta.
