Their repertoire moves effortlessly between folk, rock, and acoustic styles, with covers ranging from Crosby, Stills & Nash to Imagine Dragons, alongside original songs inspired by life and Cape Town itself.

With more than a decade of performing together, their music takes audiences on a journey that’s both intimate and uplifting.
Yoav & Jabulile MajolaA collaboration born of serendipity, Yoav’s ethereal indie folk sound meets Jabulile’s soulful, heartfelt vocals in a partnership that’s as unexpected as it is powerful. Their debut album Unyazi and standout track Stranger explore connection, vulnerability, and the beauty of embracing change.
Keanu HarkerOne of Cape Town’s brightest young stars, Keanu Harker is known for his high-energy performances and smooth acoustic sessions. With international tours and cruise ship performances under his belt, Keanu brings versatility, enthusiasm, and a fresh energy to every stage he steps on.
