Mufaro Marimba @ the Wild Fennel
Question: what do you do on a Sunday night on Mayne Island?
Answer: go watch a live Marimba Band and eat delicious food (slight disclaimer: doesn’t happen EVERY Sunday).
For the second year in a row, we went to see Mufaro live at the Wild Fennel. It’s a really great time, the music is amazing, and the kids love it because they get to dance and play various instruments that the band brings with them to shows. Instead of running their usual menu, the Wild Fennel offers up a buffet of chef Steve’s (always) delicious food.
I’m far from being a Marimba aficionado, but you just can’t help but love listening to Mufaro play. Their music is so energetic and upbeat that if the food doesn’t put a smile on your face, the music is sure to.
On the menu last night: ribs, tuna, vegetarian lasagna, pasta salad, tossed salad, and a raspberry chocolate cake that co-owner Peter undoubtedly had a hand in making. I hope Mufaro is back again next year; seeing them is definitely a tradition I’m willing to repeat. If they do return, book your seats early, the event always sells out.
- They play a full set before racing to catch the 8:00 ferry to Victoria
- Young and old alike enjoy the show
- The crowd was on it’s feet for the final song
- A 7 piece Marimba band
