A warm, energetic and classy fusion of Afro-Jazz, Urban Pop and Dance

Released: December 2008

Producer: Gabi le Roux

SOUND

Widely loved for their vibrant live performances, CODA ranks right up there alongside the likes of Goldfish and Freshly Ground as one of the hottest bands in South Africa at the moment. Their Afro-fusion sound is classy, refreshing and uplifting and is a rich blend of warm vocals, electric strings, saxophone, hypnotizing beats and a few other surprises, all brought together with a distinctly South African flavour. The latest CD is a very worthy - perhaps vital - addition to any CD collection of South African music.

LOOK

African Renaissance is a feel-good urban-pop offering that cements CODA's signature fusion sound and takes the band to a new level. African Renaissance is an immaculately produced and presented album, colourful in both appearance and in spirit - the perfect showcase of the philosophy and character that CODA has been building since their inception.

FEEL

With song names like Reach Out, Stand Together, Take Care and To Be African, and as the album name implies, CODA is all about positive newness in Africa - it's about being reawakened to the spirit of Africa, and about adopting an attitude that is as upbeat and full of energy as CODA’s sound.

ON AIR

The first offering from this groundbreaking new album - the single entitled It's Still The Music was an instant success around South Africa. Since October 2008, CODA’s new single ‘It’s Still the Music’ is rocking the airwaves across the nation on stations such as KFM, Good Hope FM, Heart 104.9, 5 FM, Highveld, ECR etc .

THE LAUNCH

The African Renaissance album launch in Cape Town was a resounding success: Cape Town’s movers and shakers celebrated the joy of South Africa’s musical diversity at an event that has been labelled the ‘party of the season’.

Launches throughout the rest of SA are planned for 2009.

FEEDBACK

Oh what a night! You couldn't have chosen a better venue - so festive! And the music just had us shaking our boodies up in the VIP section. Thank you so much for such a great treat. I have been loving the CD we received. Congratulations! You sure do know how to make music. Thanks for entertaining us and for having us so well looked after. All the best with the new album! Tracy Lynn Chemaly, Top Billing magazine

The launch was magnificent! Eulogi Rheeder, Marie Claire

We had a great evening and the concert was really amazing. So thanks for including us and congrats on the divine new album. Annemarie Luck, Marie Claire

What a launch!!!! Thanks so much - we had a blast! Karin Burger, Rapport

You guys were amazing tonight, WOW. Well Done! Michelle Bailey, KFM

I cannot begin to explain how you guys made us all feel proud to be South Africans last night. That was a world-class performance that rocked the inner-belly of Cape Town and with 2010 around the corner, I am confident that we will give the whole World a party to aspire to!!!!! The reaction of the capacity crowd was a tribute to how you turned the place on its head for 1 night. It was in 1 word MAGNIFICENT! Gabi Le Roux

It was a very professional production and I loved it. The venue was awesome, the stage, sound and lighting were excellent, the warm up acts were good and appropriate for your ‘African renaissance’ theme. I even thought the ‘fire dancers’ were a nice touch. Coda’s performance was fantastic. I haven’t seen you guys live for a while and it was nice to feel your vibe again. I like the new music and the new members look like part of the band now. The CD itself looks very professional, lovely artwork. Everyone was impressed with it. We enjoyed the VIP balcony, it was well organised and we had a great view. Well done on a top class event!
