WELKOM! RADIO KALAHARI ORKES


Met die talent van die bekroonde akteur en musikant, IAN ROBERTS, het die Radio Kalahari Orkes al wyd en syd getoer, van Suid-Afrika en Namibië tot Holland.

 

RKO se musiek strek van 'n diep gewortelde plek, wat Ghoema-, Latyns- en Africana-musiek aanneem, insluitend enigiets anders wat langs die grondpad te vinde is. Die woorde is egter ferm op die hede gemik, en die 6 lede van RKO vat jou op ‘n magiese reis na onverwagse plekke.

 

Met akoestiese toerusting amper so oud as hul leuse speel die klanke uiteen: viool, kitare, dobro, mondfluitjie, bas, trekklavier, gazoos en 'n ou Fender Telecaster.

RKO is op 20 April 2017 vereer met 'n FAK - Prestige-toekenning vir die uitstekende bevordering van Suid-Afrikaanse volksmusiek.


Featuring the talent of IAN ROBERTS the Radio Kalahari Orkes has toured the length and breadth of South Africa, Namibia and The Netherlands.


Fronted by actor Ian Roberts, performing a folk-rock pastiche of Traditional Afrikaans with authentic acoustic instruments, their music stems from a deeply rooted place, taking in Ghoema, Latin and Africana music and anything else found lying around the dirt road.


The words, however, are focused firmly on the present. Their debut Album, Stoomradio, went gold and was accompanied by the acclaimed Harry Kalmer play, Die Vloek Van Die Strandjutwolf. This was followed by the SAMA nominated 2nd album, Nagloper, the soundtrack of the Rian Malan play of the same name and winner of the De Kat, Ramkat Award for best show at Innibos Festival. 


RKO have been honored with a FAK - Prestige award for the excellent promotion of South African folk music on the 20th of April 2017.

Played on acoustic equipment nearly as old as their motto, the bands’ sound features variously; violins, accordions, mandolins, banjos, washboards, guitars, pedal steel, dobro, trumpets, contrabass and gazoos.
