#MusicExchange: MarcAlex
Brothers' Alex and Marc Rantseli are band MarcAlex who exploded on the SA music scene in 1989 with the seminal song, Quick Quick.
After a long break of absence they’re back on stage at the GrandWest Arena, Cape Town on the 29 July 2017 in Rocking the City 2017 Down Memory Lane, featuring, Dawne, The Boyz, Da Ballies & Essential.
