The Urban Cellists

“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,” says Eksteen. There is perfect balance between the soaring cello melodies and resonant bass accompaniment, immersing colourful tones with innovative production.
