Biography
Manfred is a singer/songwriter/musician who's original acoustic guitar style and unique vocal are woven into a tapestry of music that sends out a holistic message and acts as a voice for his social commentary. Being an accomplished guitarist, his music has an acoustic feel that is uniquely Manfred Zipfel and always conveys the mood of the song. This talent has given him the opportunity to compose and produce music for both advertisements and documentaries as well as a complete CD featuring his own work.The music represents a culmination of experimenting, finding, identifying, honing, fine-tuning and mastering the instruments, their sounds and combinations in his studio at home in South Africa.
