​The Band

​

Bra X

Is an old Goema folk guitarist, township scholar and historian of the undercommons (a space found in the relationship between people who have been denied resources, and who are joined not by the common use or ownership of space, but by belonging within the community of those who have been excluded). He is deeply concerned about the role of art and music in contemporary South Africa and beyond, seeking to restore dignity joy and audacity to the margins.

​

Leslie Javan
Les is a reputable artist in his own right, both as a performer and as a composer for film and TV. He brings a unique passion and subtlety in his approach to creating and performing music, along with excellent arrangement and production skills. Javan has been covered and written songs for Valiant Swart and Karen Zoid. Nick Turner and Zolani Moholo of Freshly Ground released one of his songs on Turner's new 2018 album.

​

Ben Amato
Ben played saxophone with the Nagtroeps (New Year's Eve marching carnival band ) as a teenager in Cape Town, and has always had a deep love for Cape Jazz and African music. He is also an accomplished composer and producer.

​

Colin Skelton
Colin is a theatre-maker, performer, and vocalist. As a traveler with a love for hybrid performance, Goema is a sound and rhythm that resonates with his storytelling and theatre roots. He injects the band with energy and focus.​
