Bottomless Coffee Band LIVE by Kapstadt Brauhaus Paarl

ABOUT

Lourens and Esté Rabé is a multi-instrumentalist folk-pop act from Cape Town, South Africa. The husband-and-wife duo writes, composes and performs songs about sharing a fierce love for life, music, traveling and coffee.

In 2020 Bottomless Coffee Band celebrated ten years of growth and evolvement in the industry, remaining true to their vision of creating a full band from their treasure chest of instruments, just being a duo. Their vision has for a long-time brought beauty, passion, and inspiration to those around them through music. This has been evident in the reactions from captivated audiences all over Africa and Europe; regarded as one of South Africa's most unique and exciting live music experiences.

What started as a lighthearted folk-rock sound has developed into the alternative folk-pop direction, evident in their 2018 album, Anthelia. Having Afrikaans as their mother tongue, this duo is quickly growing their Afrikaans oeuvre of eye-catching and soul touching music in the alternative folk-pop genre in Afrikaans. With the release of PREDIKER Hoofstuk Een in 2020, this new leg of Bottomless Coffee Band’s adventure will become ever so prominent. They believe if a song does not write itself it will not be written, making their style honest and diverse, giving every song its own wings. 

This creative duo is constantly looking for new sounds to include in their oeuvre, resulting in 12 instruments currently being played by the two of them. They grace the stage with an impressive display of music-making gadgets, making the audience stand in awe of the full band this band produces. Their instruments include, but will never be limited to, the Farmer foot drums, acoustic and electric guitar, banjo, acoustic and electric bass, U-Bass, accordion, ukulele, harmonica, glockenspiel, melodica, and various percussion instruments. They don’t just entertain with their constantly changing instruments but also sing their beautiful songs in such a way that it would be just as enchanting if there were no instruments at all.
