D-seven is an all male a capella (voice only) music group. A Capella
music has, for an exceptionally long period, suffered under the impression
that it was a music genre lacking sex appeal, audience-accessibility and
commercial viability, and perhaps a touch lame.
Needless to say, perceptions haven't hindered D-seven, a bold new ensemble
that has set the Cape Town music performance scene alight with tight sets,
fitted jeans, slick moves and smooth music. And if first impressions are
anything to go by, many a fan of high-quality live music will be
grovelling to the musical gods in thanks for a long while to come. And
grovel you just might. The men of D-seven certainly are a sight to match
their sound, which is itself winning wide acclaim. The group is moving
from strength to strength, having performed to packed houses on some of
the countries premier stages, as well as a number of local television
stations.
With hits including 'Faith', 'Stand by me', Crazy little thing called
love', 'Pata Pata' and medleys of music made famous by Michael Jackson,
Beach Boys, Goldfish and Justin Timberlake amongst others, there is
something for everyone!
D-seven have just returned from a debut run at The National Arts Festival
in Grahamstown, where they managed to secure a Standard Bank Ovation Award
for being one of the top 36 shows in over 600 productions. Now they'll be
hitting the stage of On Broadway with the same gusto for your listening
(and viewing) pleasure.
