Peroni Launch, Rhodes House: “Once again, THANK YOU so much for last week. You guys are awesome.
CODA is just so hot right now... You simply cannot think about having a party without at least trying to sign them up for the evening's entertainment... CODA is the city's most in-demand band," Bianca Coleman, Cape Argus
Widely loved for their vibrant live performances, CODA ranks right up there alongside the likes of Goldfish and FreshlyGround as one of the hottest bands in South Africa at the moment.
CODA’s new album, African Renaissance, was launched at the party of the season last year and is rocking the airwaves of SA’s national radio stations. Their soccer song ‘Blow Your Vuvuzela’ is fast becoming the unofficial anthem of the 2010 World Cup.
African Renaissance encompasses CODA’s warm, energetic and classy fusion of Afro-Jazz, Urban Pop and Dance. With song names like Reach Out, Stand Together, Take Care and To Be African, CODA is all about positive newness in Africa - it's about being reawakened to the spirit of Africa, and about adopting an attitude that is as upbeat and full of energy as CODA’s sound.
CODA have entertained some of the country's most eminent celebrities, business people and politicians, and their music has been known to get some of South Africa's leading figures on the dance floor. CODA performed at FW de Klerk's 70th birthday and was personally requested by Desmond Tutu to perform at his 75th birthday event.

One of South Africa’s busiest and most in demand bands, CODA rocked 30 000 guests at the SABC New Year party 2007 and has featured at South Africa’s premier events including Women of The Year, J & B Met, Durban July, Amphi 5, Best of Cape Town Awards etc.

CODA's diversity has resulted in a new style of South African music that appeals to audiences from Soweto to Paarl, from Gugulethu to Bloemfontein and from Dubai to the Seychelles.

CODA was a finalist in the 2008 Best of Cape Town Awards under the category ‘Performing Artists’ alongside FreshlyGround, and was nominated as one of the country’s top five bands in the 2006 Top Billing/Lifestyle Awards.

The group has performed at numerous high profile events and international events, including concerts (Jazzathon, Jazz on the Rocks, Home For All, Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Woman of the Year, Nederburg Concert Series, Paul Cluver Forest Amphitheatre), fashion shows (Cape Town Fashion Week, Durban Fashion Week), sports events (J&B Met, Durban July) launch parties and government events. Internationally CODA has performed in the Seychelles (New Year 2006), Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls (March 2006) and Dubai (May 2007, April 2008)

The CODA performance:

CODA is the one band that simply has it all – with a stylish combination of instruments (electrifying strings, cool jazz sax and hot house DJ), a sensational lead vocalist and some seriously party-igniting songs, there’s something for everyone. One CODA client sums it up:
