Luxurious. Exhilarating. Unique. Joyful. The sound of Wouter Kellerman can only be described as such.

This is music like you've never experienced before. As one of the most unique world musicians, Wouter Kellrman s music takes you on a journey across the globe, but also brings you back to South Africa.

The multi SAMA-winning flute wizard, who performed at the 2010 FIFA World Cup closing ceremony to a global television audience of 700-million people, has spent the past couple of years cooking up several potent songs with an array of top South African artists and 'Timeless' is the result.

"There are some melodies that just move you inexplicably, melodies that seem to transcend time and cultural barriers, that somehow unlock an innate musical sense that seems to be at the core of every human being. They keep their charm through many generations and times and seem to be timeless On this album are some of my favourites songs that I ve wanted to record for a long time", says Kellerman. "My focus was to connect with the roots of the music and let the essence of the song shine through."

Some of the timeless songs include a version of the old english folk song 'Greensleeves', the classic 'Somewhere over the Rainbow', 'Malaika' made famous by Miriam Makeba, also the Theme from the television series 'Game of Thrones' and a version of 'Ek Verlang na Jou', featuring the sultry voice of Anna Davel.

Mauritz Lotz, JB Arthur and Melissa van der Suy co-produced songs with Kellerman on 'Timeless'. Kellerman and Lotz then travelled to Los Angeles to mix the album with Grammy-winning engineer Husky Hoskulds.

The new album reinforces Kellerman's status as one of South Africa's foremost musicians, who is in hot demand to perform locally as well as internationally. A true crossover artist, he thrives on experimenting with the shades, textures and colours that his magic flute is capable of painting, and creatively blending this with other instrumentation and sounds.
