The rain in Durban feels like a soft snare drum, tapping out a rhythm that sets the mood for today. Grey skies, cool winds, and the ocean humming in the distance—it’s a prelude, a quiet jazz intro before the big performance. In a few hours, we’ll step aboard the MSC Opera, and the stage will shift from city streets to open seas.
Expectations:
- A suite that feels like a backstage lounge, where ideas flow as freely as the ocean breeze.
- Conversations with fellow musos—because where there’s music, there’s magic.
- Maybe, just maybe, an impromptu jam session under the stars, saxophones and voices blending with the sound of waves.
Hopes:
- To recharge and let the sea inspire new melodies for the next chapter of Sephonono.
- To share stories and riffs with artists from around the world—because jazz is a language without borders.
- To turn this cruise into a floating stage, where every sunset is an encore.
Durban may be cold today, but the rhythm is warm in our hearts. Mauritius, we’re sailing toward you with music in our souls. Stay tuned for snapshots, sounds, and stories from the ocean.
