ABOUT
Lourens and Esté Rabé are a multi-instrumentalist folk-pop act
from Cape Town, South Africa. The husband-and-wife duo
write, compose and perform songs about sharing a fierce love
for life, music, traveling and coffee.

In 2020 Bottomless Coffee Band celebrated ten years of growth
and evolvement in the industry, remaining true to their vision of
creating a full band from their treasure chest of instruments, just
being a duo. Their vision has for a long-time brought beauty,
passion, and inspiration to those around them through music. This
has been evident in the reactions from captivated audiences all
over Africa and Europe; regarded as one of South Africas most
unique and exciting live music experiences.
Esté and Lourens met in the University choir as young students at
the University of Stellenbosch. Their interest in coffee and blues
grew quickly and today this happily married couple is filled with
joy as they pursue their dream as full-time musicians together,
from their beautiful home in the heart of the small Boland town,
Paarl.
During 2020 Esté and Lourens used the gift of time as inspiration
to match their soundwaves with the heart of the confusion, loss,
healing, freedom, and all other aspects humanity had to deal with
during this unprecedented time.

What started as a lighthearted folk-rock sound has developed
into the alternative folk-pop direction, evident in their 2018
album, Anthelia. Having Afrikaans as their mother tongue, this
duo is quickly growing their Afrikaans oeuvre of eye-catching
and soul touching music in the alternative folk-pop genre in
Afrikaans. With the release of PREDIKER Hoofstuk Een in
2020, this new leg of Bottomless Coffee Band’s adventure
will become ever so prominent. They believe if a song does
not write itself it will not be written, making their style honest
and diverse, giving every song its own wings.

This creative duo is constantly looking for new sounds to
include in their oeuvre, resulting in 12 instruments currently
being played by the two of them. They grace the stage with
an impressive display of music-making gadgets, making the
audience stand in awe of the full band this band produces.
Their instruments include, but will never be limited to, the
Farmer foot drums, acoustic and electric guitar, banjo,
acoustic and electric bass, U-Bass, accordion, ukulele,
harmonica, glockenspiel, melodica, and various percussion
instruments. They don’t just entertain with their constantly
changing instruments but also sing their beautiful songs in
such a way that it would be just as enchanting if there were no instruments at all.
