5, 6, and 7 July three nights and a mere 450 seats make this highly anticipated new album reveal July\u2019s hot, must-see show.<\/p>\n

Top Dog SA\u2019s saxophonist Donveno Prins, who most recently lead the band for the inaugural run for David Kramer\u2019s Kanala<\/em> show at The Fugard Theatre, is also the band\u2019s leader. Add Camillo Lombard on keyboards, Charlton Daniels on bass, Mornay Hoffmeester on drums and Mark Williams\u00a0on guitar and you\u2019re in the company of some of South Africa\u2019s most highly sought after and hugely respected music makers who\u2019ve played with some of the greats. Now it\u2019s their turn to shine and you\u2019re invited.<\/p>\n

Described as a fresh vibrant band, and a force to be reckoned with, Top Dog SA has already made its mark in venues as diverse as Bellville Velodrome, right through to Carnival City in Johannesburg. They\u2019ve also featured at major music festivals, including Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Jazz On The Rocks Festival, Safricon Jazz Fest, Kenya, and Satchmo\u2019s Jazz Fest in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

With a recipe that\u2019s made up of equal parts Afro Vibes and fusion jazz fuelled by Khoi san legacy and various indigenous African rhythms the band calls \u201cKhoiJazz\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be doing two sets,\u201d Don reveals, \u201cwhere the full repertoire of our musical influences and stories will be played.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s going to be two hours of exceptional music,\u201d Mornay adds. \u201cSome tracks, from our recently released debut album, Griqua DNA<\/em>, have never been played\u00a0live before, so we\u2019re excited to perform them in front of a live\u00a0audience for the very first time. The vibe in the studio was amazing when we recorded these songs, so seeing how they\u2019ll translate live has us all filled with nervous anticipation. It\u2019s a great place and privilege for any musician to be in that space.\u201d<\/p>\n

The collective is also focused on Youth and Community Development, sharing their time and talent teaching youth in impoverished communities, as well as presenting reading classes, and supporting events the likes of Music Exchange.<\/p>\n
