CHORDS OF LIFE The Sound Journey of Abel Selaocoe

Abel Selaocoe redefines the parameters of the cello and moves effortlessly between genres and styles.

In his compositions and interpretations, cellist Abel Selaocoe combines Western classical music with African sounds – his music is as international as his life and character. In a world characterized by division and crisis,
Abel’s music offers hope and inspiration, it is an offer of togetherness. You can experience this diversity with him on his travels: at orchestral concerts in Europe, solo club concerts in his adopted home of England, and at one of his rare appearances in his native South Africa. He is always on the road as an artist with a mission: to make the world a little better with his art.
