Urban Cellists
Gauteng
There’s nothing like this in South Africa. Hip cool professional male instrumentalists, taking their classical and jazz knowledge and grooving along to current trending hits with their swanky electric cellos and basses. It’s time for something fresh and nu school.
The outfit showcases two options. The first is a dynamic duo performance between electric cello and electric upright bass and the second, a sleek solo performance by either of the two.
There is a perfect balance between the soaring cello melodies and resonant bass accompaniment, immersing colorful tones with innovative music production. At the start of the new millennium electric string instruments became exceedingly en vogue.
Today these ultramodern creations with their counterparts are popular additions to contemporary, rock, electronic and dance music productions. It has paved the way for improvisation, collaboration and took instrumental music to the next level.
