CapeTown Sound: …We’re getting WICKED!

Edith

E D I T H ….we’re getting down and getting WICKED! …EDITH’s ‘Love Is Wicked’ is tearing up the airwaves – having kicked off on KFM in CT, it is now spreading it’s wickedness around the country. Everyone who hears – and SEES EDITH – is struck Wicked! This girl is beautiful – and seriously hot! Cool, if you know what we mean … Her debut CD ‘WICKED!’ will hit the stores very soon now – it’s currently in production at the factory. Ten blistering tracks await you …and her version of the classic-oldie ‘Come On A My House’ with brand new hip-hop outfit 44 is destined for the world charts! No doubt about it. Edith has arrived, South Africa get ready …

C H A R L  S T O N E …our new Afrikaans/English singing star is also about to be unleashed. His first English track “Believe Again’ is great pop – at it’s very best! The song was co-written by Ron Keating, and is so strong. Equally cooking is CHARL’s first Afrikaans outing, the dance-floor smash, ‘En Sy Se’. If the whole of South Africa (and Oz, NZ, Ldn, etc …) are not singing this by Christmas, we’ll return our coriander-spiced boerewors!

Chad Saaiman

C H A D  S A A I M A N …sexy, handsome young CHAD has just stripped (partially, he assures us!) for a calends shoot of SA’s Sexiest Men. Meanwhile, he just gets hotter on the airwaves …’Seeing Stars’ is around the country, following hot-on-the-heels of ‘Moving On’- and now HEART 104.9 in Cape Town have added the incredibly catchy ‘Won’t Change’…sparing another run on CHAD. He is currently in the CapeTown Sound studios with his group, cutting brand new tracks for his ‘RePackaged’ CD – due soon …

ALSO on the AIRWAVES …Thabo Mdluli’s ‘Slow Down’ (produced by Dr Victor, and written by Patric van Blerk & Natasha Simonne) ….’Bounce!’ by Déjà vu (Southern Buzz) ….PAUL PETERSEN’s ‘Come Closer’ – an English interpretation of RINGO’s massive hit ‘Sondela’….’Call Off the Search’ by LLOYD JANSEN (Stereotype) …..BYRON CLARKE’s …’In the Grey’ (Stereotype) ….JESSICA DUDLEY’s ‘Opportunity’ (on Christian stations) …DJ KEITH’s ” I Want You Back’ ….

NEW ALBUMS COMING SOON :…. PAUL PETERSEN (cool jazz/pop classics …) …new ‘SA PARTY’ COMPILATION ….new ‘HEART 104.9’ compilation ….new ‘DJ KEITH’ ….

HOT NEW ACTS COMING: ….’44’ ….The CITY ….NOVA …..NATASHA SIMONNE ….

The lost art of ….’LANGARM!’….like good carpentry and masonry.

SON: LANGARM (CTS 5043) – CapeTown Sound (via IRIS) – Compilation – Various Artists

Son: Langarm

Die SON newspaper has initiated a series of LANGARM functions – and this has mushroomed into a magnificent 2-CD collection of the finest examples of this genre – certainly a dying art-form, much like master carpentry and masonry.

Once upon a time, the Cape was rocked at least annually by a major Langarm hit – much to the mystification of the rest of the country …who have never really caught on to the magic of this unique form of pleasure. Therefore, Die SON’s initiative sparked an exciting return to this happy, happy – and sad – music.

Gathered together on the 2-CD compilation are some of the giants of Langarm – many no longer with us – Jimmy’s Grand Six and The Bobby Hendricks Sound – being the champions, along with the exotically-named Les Swingers, Alpha Rhythms. Les Versatiles, Danny’s Rhythm Combo, Strand Combo, The Royal Sounds, Sally’s Dance Band, 10% Dance Band, Kapityt – and many, many more.

Song titles include solid-gold repertoire – songs such as Patricia, When Will I See You Again, Candle In the Wind and Misty live happily alongside Die Alabama, Januarie Februarie, Hasie and Mama Thembu’s Wedding. Ek se!

And – what would Langarm be without Nuwe Jaar!? So, at the tail-end of the 2nd CD we find Nuwejaarsdag Tango following a delightfully joyful Christmas in Cape Town by the NAC Children’s Choir.

Medleys, Sambas, Vastrap, Quick Step, Waltz , Foxtrot and Keurspel – they’re all there!

The famous ‘Gat Party’s” of the Western Cape never let an evening go by without a very healthy dose of Langarm – and there is no doubt that this economically-priced 44 song collection will set many feet tapping at all kinds of parties and gatherings between now and the sobriety of the second week on January 2010.
