Seba Kaapstad has come alive in 2013, the year that Sebastian Schuster landed on the shores of Cape Town. Little did he know that the result of him spending a year in the „Mother City“ would have the effect of a lifetime. While Sebastian was applying himself to study at UCT, he worked with a number of talented musicians based in Cape Town. Later on in the year Sebastian began working with Zoe Modiga and Ndumiso Manana in an informal setting, jamming standards and rearranging songs of their choice. The more they worked together the more it seemed as though a deeper chemistry was being formed within the music. “I would like to record a project with you guys in Germany very soon. What do you think?”, with that simple statement Sebastian sparked a passion that would fuel him for the next few months, leading him to writing and organizing , focusing on what would be the eventual project called Seba Kaapstad.
After a few phone calls, emails, and more trips down to Cape Town from Seba the project began to take shape. Thereupon in 2016, the debut album "Tagore's" was released. For the new upcoming album, Philip Scheibel alias PHEEL joined the band as a producer and percussionist
