Anneli Kamfer

About

Anneli Kamfer, born in the beautiful town of Swellendam, started singing at the age of 13 and never looked back since. With a fiery stage personality coupled with incredible musicianship, this spellbinding vocalist leaves audiences sitting on the edge of their seats.


The quality of her voice is intensely rich and powerful. As one audience member comments: “She has a voice like no other.”


Anneli, former lead vocalist of the award-winning gypsy jazz group, Manouche, started her solo project ANNELI KAMFER after they disbanded in 2018. Together with guitarist Philip Vermeulen of the acclaimed musical group Zamar, the dynamic duo of voice & guitar soon became a choice live music entertainment option for high profile events & shows.

 

Shortly after their launch the duo felt the need to expand the brand by offering various ensemble options ranging from a simpler two-piece outfit to an elaborate full 5-piece band including double bass, saxophone, drums, acoustic guitar and voice. Their repertoire includes a fine selection of jazz standards to gypsy jazz music delivered in a unique “afro-jazz” package.
