ABOUT PG_13

Like the three brightest stars that fall in the consolation of the mythical hunter Orion, PG_13 was founded by three girls with six strings on the principles of pulse, anima and forte. Since then they have grown into a gender blended art collective that incorporates forbearing vocals, Evocative poetry, rhythmic lute instruments, meticulous percussive sounds, as well as consonance woodwind vibrational blows. With youthful rhythms accompanied by ancient grooves tied together by the harmonies of tomorrow, their sound is not jazz nor is it Rock n roll it is where those rivers meet balancing on a tight rope of Maskandi.

PG_13 is the old defining the new, transcending time and truth in the present through the spirits of the tellers of folklore and the keepers of wisdom.
TOGETHER they ASPIRE to tell tales of humanity that resonate deeply with the ethnicity of sounds from the cradle of mankind. They are a melting pot of History and experience looking to spark a new narrative. The renegades, rule breaker, radical yet robust expressionists, breaking boundaries of thought in aims to create a global echo that the masses can relate to.


Formed in 2015, PG_13 has performed at various Jozi unsigned events and concert SA venues (Soweto Threatre, The Dawn and Afrikan Freedom Station).
