12 Windsor Road, Kalk Bay

Founded by Chris Tokalon (vocals, sax, flute, hang*) SoulBird have formed a multi-faceted trio of talented musicians. Along with their original compositions they combine to create a varied and eclectic blend of evocative and inspiring music. As a listener you are transported irresistibly on a soaring world music experience where cultural boundaries blur then vanish.



Their show is anchored on a solid foundation of conventional Western music genres (mainly contemporary jazz, folk, rock and blues) and decades of experience in performance and composition. From this solid platform they invite you to take flight on a globetrotting journey, visiting your imagination on exotic musings to India, Africa, Tibet, the Middle East, Australia and the Caribbean. Tablas (Indian finger drums), Tibetan singing bowls, Oud (Middle Eastern Lute), Didgeridoo (origins in Australia) and *Hang (miniature steel drum with origins in the Caribbean) combine with saxophones, flute and guitar for a vividly colourful, musical event.

SoulBird are :

Christopher Tokalon on vocals, sax, flute and hang
Ronan Skillen on tablas, didgeridoo and extended percussion
Peter Nordling on guitars, bass and hoüd.
