Persverklaring
Rocco de Villiers is ‘n Suid-Afrikaanse pianis, komponis, dirigent, regissieur en produsent. Hy is bekend vir twee dinge – sy vermoë om te meng en vermaak met cocktails (sy cocktailboek “roctails” is een van die mees gesogte van sy soort), maar meeste van alles sy flambojante styl van klavier speel. In sy nuwe cd, “if Freud knew the steps”, bederf Rocco jou met sy seining op psigoterapie. Sy sesde en 100% oorspronklike instrumentele album het kwaliteite van rock, blues en wêreldmusiek. Ingestel en in terapie staan Rocco, die band en die produksie naak voor Freud.
Die cd is geïnspireer deur hedendaagse kwessies met titels soos “on the street where Katrina lives”, “you are, I am, we are” en “tango for two saints and a pregnant woman”. Goed ge-olie, goed aangetrek en goen ge-oefen praat Rocco se klavier soos altyd ‘n ander taal: hierdie keer in rock en blues!
Press Release
Rocco de Villiers is a South African pianist, producer, performer, composer and conductor. He is famous for 2 things – his ability to mix and entertain with cocktails (his cocktails book “roctails” is one of the most talked about of it’s kind), but mostly his flamboyant style of piano playing. On his new cd, “if Freud knew the steps” Rocco treats you with his take on psychotherapy. His sixth and 100% original instrumental album has qualities of rock, blues and world music. In tune and in therapy - Rocco, the band and the production stands naked before Freud.
It is inspired by current issues with titles such as “on the street where Katrina lives”, “you are, I am, we are” and “tango for two saints and a pregnant woman”. Well-oiled, well-dressed and well-rehearsed – as always, Rocco’s piano speaks a different language, this time in rock and blues!
