Nederburg picnic concert
2007-10-18
SOUTH AFRICA’S hottest new band, Coda, takes to the stage at a picnic concert on the lush green lawns in front of the Nederburg manor house for the final concert of the Nederburg Concert Series on Sunday 28 October at 17:00.
Coda will herald in summer with a fresh new wave of contemporary South African music that combines the irresistible beats of SA dance music with scintillating electric strings, saxophone and exhilarating live sampling.
Considered one of the country’s most successful fusion bands, Coda is a unique collaboration between electric cellist Carol Thorns, saxophonist Judy Brown, vocalist Yolanda Yawa and DJ Nick Matthews.
Their popularity has been cemented since the release of their debut album, Believe, with several tracks being playlisted by radio stations throughout the country
Their virtuoso repertoire showcases the skill and talent of the performers and draws on influences of several dance-orientated styles of music including House and Kwaito, as well as the more ambient sounds associated with Buddha Bar and Café Del Mar.
The band has entertained some of the country's most eminent celebrities, business people and politicians, and their music has been known to get the likes of Desmond Tutu and FW de Klerk onto the dance floor.
Tickets are R60. Patrons can bring picnic baskets, or order a picnic platter.
Bookings can be made by emailing ialbers@distell.co.za or by calling Irma Albers or Magdel Horrell on 021-809-8106.
