New releases:
The Du Plessis’s spoil again with a song from their own pen, sung by Ruan Josh. “Ek sukkel” is a nice Afrikaans sock song, says Ruan. It is a nice tongue-in-cheek song and deals with Ruan’s meeting with a former Miss. South Africa. Ruan tells that he has a challenge to talk to beautiful women and blushes crimson.
“Tannie Katesbes” is a song written by Fatman and Roux Cloete and is dedicated to all fathers with beautiful daughters. About the song, Fatman says: “Of course, every father has the fear that a guy will come to visit his daughter, one who does not carry your approval.” It was with this in mind that the song “Tannie Katesbes” was created.
Other songs released are Daniel Eeuwrick’s “Afrika kind”, Alida Lief’s “Boerecountry”, John Rock Prophet with Debbie K’s “Die son en die maan”, Jacob Swann’s “Is als beter?”, Shy! together with Jan Bloukaas’ “Blitse skugter”, Elandré’s “In my eyes”, Mionette’s “Groenlig”, Anya Swart’s “Hartenbos”, Tian Nienaber’s “Hemel se door”, Tertius Rooi’s “Koffie”, RAAF’s ” Another place at my table”, Phillip’s “So feeling” and Stiaan Reynierse with Dozi’s “Sprokie vir o stadskind”.
