Music By The Sea presents - CARL CLEVES and THE HOTTENTOTS- TWO CONCERTS IN ONE
The Hottentots - one of Australia's finest singer-songwriters, Flemish born nomad Carl Cleves and Greek-Australian songbird Parissa Bouas meld a satchel of styles to "create a wonderfully textured quilt of beautiful and meaningful songs." Carl's unmistakable guitar style is utterly captivating" whilst "Parissa has a voice that would aggravate angels with its beauty."
They weave stories with songs, touching a deep vein of humanity that leaves audiences moved, uplifted and crying out for more. Their music can't be easily labelled. Whilst it's true to say there is an ethnic flavour, there is also a strong folk/roots component, that combined with their singer/ songwriter style, delivers a unique musical experience that skirts many boundaries.
Parissa Bouas is an extraordinary singer and songwriter who finds an emotional context for every genre. In Brazil they named her ‘Patativa', after a bird renowned for its singing. Parissa has written some classic, catchy songs that people sing around the country, such as "Mother's Song" , "I'll Be With You Tonight" & "My Spirit". In 2000 she co- wrote the anthemic "Put Your Hand in Mine" for the Woodford Millenium Fire Event Choir of 700 voices, which she also conducted. The performance before a crowd of 20,000 was beamed across Australia and to 1.6 billion people in 61 countries.
