The year 2011 will be over in less than two weeks. As we may all have witnessed, this year produced some wonderful music; and those responsible for flying that musical flag need to be praised. Last year, we started a feature whereby we charted our Top 20 Albums Of 2010. Artists like Simphiwe Dana, Wayman Tisdale, Stimela, Herbie Hancock, Kanye West, and more, made it to the list. We would like to continue this tradition. Again, like we did last year,... 

This past Sunday R&B crooner Joe Thomas did what he does best, serenade the ladies with his voice and sultry dance moves. He performed into a crazily screaming crowd at the second and final half of his 2-city South African tour at the ICC in Durban. I had seen Joe perform live in the country twice before. So when I got offered the tickets, it couldn’t hurt to go for the third time. Even better was the fact that I was also offered to give... 

Moses Mabhida Stadium was abuzz this past Friday as house music junkies congregated to witness their favourite local and international DJ‘s do what they do best on the decks. The impressive line up that included the best DJ‘s and musicians the world has to offer, set the spectacularly transformed stadium ablaze with their hot tunes. Scheduled to last for 12 hours (from 12pm to 12am), the Vodacom Unlimited Festival provided plenty of music... 

The first time I saw Joe Thomas perform live was at Kings Park Stadium when he toured the country alongside Deborah Cox and Keith Sweat. The second time was a more intimate gig at the Albert Park, also in Durban. The second time, particularly, gnaws on my mind still because I attended with a late friend of mine. But I digress. You may have heard in the past few months that R&B crooner, who has nine albums under his belt, is returning to the... 

It’s sad that the MTN Durban Jazz Festival is in its 9th year already, but I have yet to attend. I remember having my tickets in hand on the day of the festival over 6 years ago, yet I still didn’t go. I have since attempted to be part of the festivities over the years, but something always crops up at the last minute; and I end up not going. Here’s to hoping that this year things are different. Anyway, revellers at this year’s... 

This past September I attended the rehearsals for Mzansi Love Soul festival, and subsequently the Friday show. You may remember my write up about it where I mentioned that one of the artists on the line up, Brian Temba, let me listen to (and watch) his fresh and new single (video) off his yet untitled upcoming album. Guess what? Today is Brian Temba‘s birthday. And as a treat to his fans, he has decided to share the video for the song This...

The nominations for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards were announced a few hours ago by The Recording Academy. The members of the Academy once again selected an assorted blend of talent from all the corners of the globe. Although Kanye West leads the pack with seven nominations, it is our very own Ladysmith Black Mambazo that have, once again, made us proud.
