Carl Cleves & Parissa Bouas, aka The Hottentots
Australia’s definitive coffeehouse couple weave stories with songs, touching a deep vein of humanity that leaves audiences moved, uplifted and crying out for more. Flemish born nomad, Carl Cleves and Greek Australian songbird, Parissa Bouas, are modern troubadours whose poetic songs touch on “so many different musical styles that it seriously undersells the music to simply label it as folk.”. With caxixi, shruti box, eclectic guitar and vocal stylings, they stretch musical boundaries to “create a wonderfully textured quilt of beautiful and meaningful songs.”
