AKiMBO - Duo - Stellenbosch, Western Cape Event Location: Daisy Jones Bar, Stellenbosch Event Type: Original Show 10th June 2023
'Over the years I've seen Tayne and Andi grow into the act AKiMBO and then saw it blossom. Their trademark faultless harmonies, combined with fresh takes on iconic songs, set them apart from many acts one encounters on the circuit. Andi's energy is infectious and Tayne's guitar-playing is sublimely unique. But their biggest secret is their beautiful original material. Songs that can stand their ground in any company, anywhere.'

We have been lucky enough to have AKiMBO singing at a number of our venues/taprooms over the past two years. They are well received by our patrons and their energy is contagious. They truly enjoy performing and it shows. They have a perfect style of music for restaurant and live shows. They are professional and worth booking for events.

The Band AKiMBO. What can I say? Amazing, incredible, thought-provoking and a pleasure to the ear. Their soothing sounds and lyrics touch deep and every audience member walks out rejuvenated and cultivated with the blessing of song and music. I only see a bright future for this duo! The fact that they can create such a full sound with just two humans is astounding. May their songs be heard by the whole world and may they be blessed in every performance, lyric and music they create.
