1. About Navi Redd
Navi Redd (Navy Red) is a professional entertainment group consisting of eight male singers since January 2004. Their genre is a capella and perform without any instrument, calling themselves a vocal band, using only their vocal chords and creativity to take on audiences on a unbelievable journey of sounds and harmonies that is incomparable in South Africa and the rest of the world.
2. Press Release
Let’s face it, men singing a capella has never been an unsightly occurrence…and these a capella rebels bend all rules and regulations of this genre. 100% testosterone, 120% talent, eye candy, ear candy…
“A capella” of course meaning: No musical instruments, no back-tracks. By using nothing other than brilliant vocal chords and astounding techniques, these boys leave live full instrumental bands looking on their noses. Seeing is believing. This together with eight hilarious personalities on stage, ensures that crowds are up on their feet after every single performance.
Navi Redd is a vocal band with a sting in its tail and it’s repertoire includes anything from Grease and The Beach Boys to Johnny Clegg, Roy Orbisson and Steve Hofmeyr. Since the group’s inception early in 2004, Navi Redd have been amusing crowds all over South Africa, and the brand name has grown to be loved by the public and widely respected by all involved in the entertainment industry … A cappella for the people!
Theatre supremo Richard Loring had the following to say about Navi Redd:
“Navi Redd is one of those rare breed of artists who combine a spellbinding mastery of vocal sounds with captivating originality. This is seen in their innovative ideas in marketing and reaching younger and newer audiences in the music market in South-Africa.
Their vocal expertise and passion for their work, make them especially marketable in the South African Industry, where audiences have not been exposed to their work. I believe that Navi Redd is one of the most exciting, accomplished and promising vocal groups to emerge from South Africa…”
