Estelle Kokot

From Abdullah to Cave

An exploration of the written word in song. Join South African singer, songwriter, pianist Estelle Kokot and her band as they take you on a musical journey, from Abdullah Ibrahim's 'The Mountain' to Nick Cave’s 'Red Right Hand'.

Estelle will premiere new compositions, interpretations and arrangements by Nine Inch Nails, Johnny Cash, Stephen Sondheim, Neil Diamond, Patsy Cline, Joni Mitchell and more.

With Michael Janisch (bass) and Gene Calderazzo (drums).

'Regulars at the Vortex will no doubt be familiar with the compellingly dramatic live work of Estelle Kokot. Her great strengths: a powerful yet intimately confiding vocal style, cogent and persuasive lyrics, the subject matter of which ranges from affecting but unflinching despatches from love's front lines, to meditations on contemporary African politics and their human consequences' (Chis Parker).
