Boyz 11 Men in Colombo : A chance in a lifetime
Boyz 11 Men will Make Love To You live at the CH & FC grounds on Saturday July 17 singing all the love songs which catapulted them into fame. This will be the first and only performance by this harmonically gifted quartet who scored a series of milestones ever since they released their debut single End of the Road that smashed all chart records including the one that Elvis Presley held and donned the crown in 1992 for the longest time spent at number one. The history making foursome who rolled out many popular hits including On Bended Knee, One Sweet Day with Mariah Carey, It's Hard To Say Goodbye for Yesterday, In The Still of the Nite, Song for Mama will sing these songs specially for your listening pleasure. What have they done lately? Well, Boyz 11 Men meet that challenge with the release of their sixth studio album Full Circle on the new label Arista Records. "It's all about music" says Wanya Whether it brings out emotion, makes you dance, sing along or provokes thought that's what is important. That's what the vibe is with us. We went back to a lot of our signature grooves, and just tried to give ourselves more character. It's one thing to be able to sing, which is a blessing. But it's another to show character within your vocals and give people something to, not only listen to but feel." Ten years ago Nathan Morris, Michael McCary, Shawn Stockman and Wayne Morris came together to charter their Grammy winning course backstage at a New Edition concert singing a cappella for New Edition member Michael Bivins and the next thing that happened to them was that they were centre stage performing for hundreds of thousands of people around the world. The print media sponsors for the show are Sunday Observer and Daily News. Electronic media are MTV/Channel 1/Sirasa TV with Yes FM/Classic FM. Tickets are priced at Rs. 5,000, Rs. 3,000, Rs. 1,500 and Rs. 1,000. |
