South African folk music
Get ready for an unforgettable evening as RADIO KALAHARI ORKES brings their unique blend of sounds to Silverstar Barnyard. Known for their music that draws from deeply rooted traditions, RKO seamlessly combines Ghoema, Latin, and Afrikaans influences, with anything else they might encounter along the dusty roads of South Africa. This rich tapestry of sounds is grounded in the present, offering a fresh and vibrant take on traditional styles.
The band’s performances are enhanced by their use of vintage acoustic instruments that echo their longstanding commitment to preserving and evolving the music of their heritage. The stage comes alive with the sounds of violins, old guitars, penny whistles, harmonicas, bass, and even gazoos, creating a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that is as charming as it is entertaining.
RADIO KALAHARI ORKES is not just about music; it’s about celebrating and promoting South African culture. This dedication was recognized on 20 April 2017, when the band was honoured with the FAK Prestige Award for their exceptional contribution to the promotion of South African folk music. This accolade is a testament to their impact and the deep connection they have with their audience.
At Silverstar Barnyard, RKO promises a performance that will captivate and transport you to a place where the old and new meet, where the past is honoured, and the present is celebrated. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their music, this show is sure to leave a lasting impression. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to experience RADIO KALAHARI ORKES live!
