Hot news
The wolrk on the new album gathers momentum as the Brothers consolidate the work done on new songs to be
featured on the 8th album. Most intersting part was when the group showcased some of these news songs during the recent performances. One of the songs that received rave reviews is "Goodbye Thokozile" that seems to have captured the magination of many followers of the group's music. The most recent review came from Jurgen the Sound Engineer at Sunset Studios who immediately sent the song to his network abroad including the popular New York Producer, Fab who said"
"Hi Jurgen,
This sounds really great. What is he singing about? I love everything about it. I may be back in S.A producing a record there. We should hook up if I do. It would be in November and maybe also January.
Ciao
Fab" - New York.......................
Jurgen said:
"A friend of mine (Elvis Hermans) and I had some time to kill before sessions started today. He did all the takes as 'one takes'. We did this track in 20 min with a TLM103 through the Soundtracs Mic pre. No Eq end no compression - just the way we like it!
"This track really touched me and I played it to Melissa, who runs a production company with me, called Kontinuum. She was very impressed! We are pitching all around some nice ambient music with a bit of a classical + French + African vibe that we produce on a regular basis. We are keen to do a track with you and see what the response will be. Are you still keen for such a venture?"
"Elvis is one of South Africa's noted traditional vocal arrangers and himself an amazing vocalist, If you ever need this kind of vibe please let me know." - Jurgen, Sunset Studios.............
During the past two weeks the group appeared before various audiences at teh Arbor Week Celebrations and Castle Milksout Roadshows in Khayelitsha and Nomzamo respectively. At this stage the diary is getting fuller and fuller as the festive season approaches.
