Mmm Ahh Whoosh at Z-Arts is a brand-new jazz-inspired colour and musical performance for children aged 0–5 and their grown ups, taking place on Saturday 9 April, for one day only. Mmm Ahh Whoosh is inspired by a human’s first sounds; our breaths, hums, gurgles, squeals and chuckles, delivering a magical blend of music and colourful animation that celebrates and explores the intricate world of children’s language and sound. Through interactive performance and heaps of fun, the show invites you and your little one to consider and experience the true ‘sound’ of feelings, colours and actions.

As well as a stunning fuse of sound and noises, at Mmm Ahh Whoosh you can expect to be submerged in a vivid, swirling wonderland of colour. You will be taken on a vibrant, sensory and fully immersive journey that encourages you and your child to create new and familiar sounds together, learn all there is to know about sound, and enjoy a truly unique experience you will look back on fondly for many years.

Mmm Ahh Whoosh at Z-Arts will be presented by charismatic musical artist, Mellow Baku, who has been performing internationally for over 10 years, and whose fascinating background and cultural heritage merges the stunning sounds of scat, Afrocentric soulful folk and jazz. Join Mellow as she takes you on a memorable journey to explore the mesmerising sounds of the song, from Mmm to Ahh to Whoosh, in this rhythmic and colourful sound party, for everyone to bop along to the beat and of course, have a wonderful time!

Mmm Ahh Whoosh is 40 minutes long, the perfect length of time to keep the attention of the littleys. Book your tickets through the link below.
