Naima, who is well known not only as a prolific
singer and poet, has also received critical acclaim for her recent starring
role in the big budget Hollywood film production, Vehicle 19, alongside
recently passed superstar Paul Walker.
Naima
launches 2014 in theatre production, a space she hasn’t played in years and she is excited for the
month-long run to be held at Johannesburg’s legendary Market Theatre later in
the month.
The American-based play directed by renowned James Ngobo and Choreographed by Greg Maqoma, focuses on being an African
American and redefines our ideas of what its like to be black in contemporary
America – a country that Naima has spent much time visiting over the
years. With a sterling cast of 12 young
actors, the electrifying play will leave audiences stunned and delighted.
This homegrown star was really catapulted into
the limelight last year with her exceptional contribution to the world of
poetry, music and film. Her single Hero,
alongside rapper AKA, charted across radio stations in SA and saw her
performing at some of the top venues and events held last year. Her debut album will be released in 2014.
Naima McLean is one of the top South African
talents to watch this year.
