While Montreal blues musician Cecile Doo -Kingue couldn’t make her show at Plum, Feb 17 after a really bad weeke
nd of her mother passing away and her van getting broken into, her spirit was still soared through the air.
Instead Mwansa Mwansa and Aaron Collier raised $500 for her with a fundraiser at Plum. There were raffle tickets and much more and lots of music.
Aaron Collier tickled the ivories of his piano while Mwansa Mwansa sat opposite, singing her usual strong set of modern pop and and soul music. As always, I enjoyed her version of Jamiroquai’s ’90s hit “Virtual Insanity” as well as her beautifully soulful cover of the Zutons/ Amy Winehouse’ hit “Valerie.”
They also played some newer material including “Waves” by Mr. Probz., which Collier finished by playing a wave sound effect.
She also sang a stunning version of her favourite song “You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman.”
