SA Backline

SA Backline South Africa's largest, dedicated backline service provider. We're able to supply the exclusive back

Starting off his music career in 1968 as a bass player, Raphael "Gorksie" Madeira became a very prominent musician in the SA music scene both with bands and as a session musician. He was very fortunate to be part of the transformation of the music scene to a multi racial melting pot of cross over music. In 1998, being very unhappy with the standard of backline gear supplied locally, he decided to

stop playing and start a backline company. The success of this endeavor has made him a standard setter for a multitude of international and local music concerts both in South Africa and Africa. Gorksie is known throughout the industry, here and abroad, as a professional in his field and is SA Backline’s team leader.
