COBRA-4 in African Gourmet Temple
The Carnivore is a name known to gourmets all over the world. It was recently chosen as one of the "World's Top 50 Restaurants" by a specialist magazine and boasts kings, presidents, famous musicians and film stars among its clientele.
Besides being a world-class restaurant, the establishment boasts a club called the Simba Saloon in which music is performed live, and it too has an outstanding reputation not only for the cultivation of local talent but as a stage for top international acts from genres as diverse as rock, soul, jazz and reggae. These have included the likes of Maxi Priest, Yellowman, Sadao Watanabe, Chaka Demus, Manu Dibango, Salif Keta and most recently, the Jamaican reggae star Beenie Man.
The steadily rising expectations of visiting bands made investing in a new sound reinforcement system essential. After analysing what was on the market, comparing offers and attending demos from leading suppliers, decision-makers from the Tamarind Group, which owns the Carnivore, opted for the Cobra-4 compact line-array system from Dynacord. "We had had several discussions with Jan Verwiel of the Tamarind Group," remembers Omar Abdalla Sheikh of Dynacord's African partner Audio Visual Engineering. "He was pretty soon convinced by the concept of the Cobra - and its performance sealed the deal. Only days after the installation, I got a letter from him that read: ‘My decision was absolutely correct. The Cobra-4 has all the qualities you promised, and then some!'."
In picture: a snake, for once, that's welcome: Jan Verwiel of Tamarind and Omar Abdalla Sheikh of Dynacord's African partner Audio Visual Engineering celebrate the arrival of the Dynacord Cobra-4 system.
