Gang of Instrumentals is the scorching hot new Afro Band on the South African music scene, with lyrics that manage to fuse the African language and English into a synergy of powerful tracks filled to the brim with relevant content and universal truths. Gangs of Instrumentals hail from Johannesburg South Africa and they are one of the best celebrity Afro Bands in the business.
The Gang of Instrumentals call themselves "An army of underground revolutionists - Armed with piercing real life lyrics penetrating your soul - Lieutenants of funk, Corporals of beat, Renegades of Rhyme, Soldiers marching to the rhythm of a new sound". Gang of Instrumentals are a multi Channel O nominated, SAFTA Golden Horn winning, pop-urban group with a fresh sound and street credibility. Founded in 2002, the Gang burst on the scene in 2004 with their debut album, "Kassi Flava", which included the chart-topping track "Cry4me". Gang of Instrumentals have a really great sound that appeals to audiences around the world.
The Gang of Instrumentals had a fantastic 2007, scoring several hits on radio stations across South Africa. Now the band is hard at work with its third album, due out in May. If that isn't enough, the group is also on its way to Nashville, Tennessee, to perform alongside other international bands. Closer to home, the group will perform at the Virgin Mobile Frockstars. Watch the video to find out how things are going for "the Gang".
Gang of Instrumentals
Gang of Instrumentals' sound is a mix of Lady Naturelle’s sweet soulful vocals, Mandla N’s poetic raps and Bongo Riot’s raggae chants. They're all involved in the creative process, and Salute is an eclectic mix of Afro-pop, urban-pop, reggae and hip hop with an attractive pop sheen.
Gang of Instrumentals are blazing up the air waves and music video channels with their hit song “My number One”. But that’s not all. Two Gang of Instrumentals' members also have a hit sitcom City Ses'la on SABC 1.
Because they have to choose a genre, they have chosen popular music. Basically because they found that a majority of songs are of the popular genre. If they didn’t have to choose they would call it good music. It’s a combination of a lot of genres out there. You’ll find Kwaito, you’ll find Jazz, you’ll find Hip Hop, you’ll find Reggae, you’ll find Soul, you’ll find Gospel, you’ll find Mbaqanga and you’ll find Rock. So they don’t really fit into anything because they understand that they all come from different musical backgrounds. Mandla is Hip Hop and Rap, Bongo is Reggae and Rock, Lady Naturelle is Soul and Jazz, and their producer was in a Rock band before. All of them come from different schools of thought.
