BONEY M, a legendary name of the golden era of disco, is set to bring the groove back to Malaysia’s capital city as part of its golden jubilee celebration.
Organised by Lo-Fi Entertainment, with Front Row Entertainment as co-organiser, Boney M 50th Anniversary Tour in Kuala Lumpur (KL) — led by original member Maizie Williams — will light up Mega Star Arena, KL, on Jan 12, 2025, at 8pm.
The music of Boney M, which includes “Daddy Cool”, “Sunny”, “Ma Baker”, “Rasputin”, “Hooray! Hooray! It’s a Holi-Holiday”, “Brown Girl In The Ring” along with a string of originals and renditions, has been a defining sound of the 1970s that continues to be enjoyed everywhere today.
The Boney M story began when the late music producer Frank Farian released “Baby Do You Wanna Bump” under that pseudonym. The song’s popularity that ensued led him to hire performers, one of them being Maizie Williams, to make live appearances.
Joining Williams later on were Marica Barrett, Liz Mitchell and the late Bobby Farrell. From Europe, the style and sound of Boney M went on to take the world by storm, achieving record-breaking album sales and chart-topper status.
Fifty years on, the magic of Boney M lives on through this tour, with Williams leading an ensemble of performers to show the cross-generational audience a good time with their timeless hits, infectious energy and electrifying moves.
