Music is universal and so is Kalahari Connection.
Throughout the ages musical innovation and evolution is frequently the result of ongoing fusion of diverse musical elements.
The Kalahari is home to the Khoisan and Bushmen, widely considered as the first people. Humanity spread globally from the Kalahari, our forebearers taking the first music with them to all parts of the world.
Kalahari Connection is a global collective of musicians from numerous cultures and nationalities, children of the Kalahari coming home to Africa and the cradle of mankind. Each carries with them some of the infinite new sounds and flavours derived from the Kalahari and the first people, fusing these into new music that celebrates the rich human variety.
Kalahari Connection brings together elements of African, Indian, Chinese, Jazz, Rock and Classical Music on instruments such as Tabla, Chinese Bamboo Flute, Concert Flute, African Bows, Flutes, Percussion and Marimba, 12-string Bass, Drums, African and Latin Percussion. Each band member shares a deep & long standing connection with the music scene in South Africa & globally, a fact that speaks for itself.
The group made its debut on 10 July 2011, in a concert named Jazz and World Music Masala, performing for a select audience of musicians and music fans at Swingers Jazz Club in Wetton, Cape Town.
