MIKANIC

Two South Africans - Michael Rennie (violin&vocals) and Nick Turner (https://www.tradebit.comtar&vocals) - form the core of this band. Both musicians have risen to the top of the South African scene playing for a variety of different bands and artists over the last seven years. Forming part of Sons of Trout, one of the country''s top selling bands and best live acts, they have headlined every major music festival South Africa has to offer and toured extensively releasing four albums. In 2002 the two formed Mikanic and in 2003 released "Swimmin with the Women" to great critical acclaim and popular success.

Based now in New York City, Mike and Nick have found a new voice and completely original sound with Mikanic: They have been joined at their Madiba Cafe residency by Tony Cedras (Paul Simon/Miriam Makeba/Hugh Masekela) and a spontaneous session with Vusi Mahlasela. Traditional African sounds and melodies blended with groove, jazz and R&B. Lyrically powerful, relevant and humorous, this is hip world music at its best.
