Park Acoustics gooi so eenkeer per maand 'n moerse lekker rustige, family friendly vibe by die Voortrekker Monument. Jy kan braai en drink en sleg wees saam met jou familie of vriende terwyl die tunes rustig oor jou spoel. Die volgende gig is op 20 November en dan weer op 11 Desember.
Ons sal later weer meer info kom gooi om jou te herinner of jy kan hulle Facebook page join of visit.
In die meantime, hier is soortvan 'n vinnige recap van verlede Sondag se show…
Daar ver in die ou Kalahari rus die Radio Kalahari Orkes lekker op hul louere, maak movies en saai Kalahari-musiek uit dat die rooistof so staan. Hulle maak musiek saam met Valiant Swart en Chris Chameleon en besluit op die koop toe om saam met Jack Parow die pad te vat na die wildste en weirdste Oppikoppi Bosveld Ruk en Rol Boeremusiekfees van alle tye. En daar is jou werklikwaar klinkklare dokumentêre bewys daarvan dat hierdie nie net ‘n slim bemarkingsfoefie is nie: Hiervan getuig die Nuwe film “DIE GEHEIM VAN SLANGFONTEIN” en die CD “RADIO KALAHARI ORKES – GROOTSTE TREFFERS”
“Die geheim van Slangfontein” is `n musiek-fliek met Rian “Rooi Jan” Malan en die Radio Kalahari Orkes. Dit word op DVD uitgereik en sal vanaf November beskikbaar wees in musiekwinkels landwyd.
Rian "Rooi Jan" Malan gee pad na die Kalahari. Hy's 'n stadskind wat doer anderkant die diep donker waters van die Oranjerivier wil gaan vergeet van homself, van sy simpel werk en van sy ongelukkige huwelik. Hy wil ook so ver as moontlik wegkom van die groot gemors waarin die korrupte regering sy land gedompel het. Onverwags weier sy radio om op te hou speel wanneer hy eintlik net stilte nodig het. So ontdek hy 'n raaiselagtige geheim waneer die radio aanhou om musiek te speel vanaf 'n sender wat uitsaai vanaf ‘n mistieke tussenwêreld. Die klanke maak die binneboer in hom wakker. Hy ontdek diep gevoelens wat hy laas beleef het toe hy onder Linden se skroeiende son gesit en luister het na Oubaas Malan se Maleise en Boeremusiek plate.
Rian besluit om die eerbare ding te doen. Hy gaan die groot geheim losmaak uit die dodelike greep van die inkennige binnelanders. Maar sal hy die antwoord vind op die uitmergelende vrae wat sy gees teister? Hoe diep sal hy moet delf? Sal sy redding steeds altyd net buite bereik bly? En sal oom Willie Leopold se moersterk mampoer die geheim openbaar?
“Hy skakel in op Stoomradio, ‘n spookstasie wat uitsaai uit die Kalahari en wat ‘n mens slegs kan hoor as jou gees reg ingestel is, soos hy dit stel. En dit wat uit daardie ou draadloos opklink, is die meevoerende klanke van die Radio Kalahari Orkes: blikkitare, bekfluitjies, banjo’s, mandolien, staalkitaar, viool, pedaalstaalkitaar, traporrel, konsertina, trekklavier – aards, opreg en ongekunsteld. Vol skop en lewe en energie. Dis terug na die roots, die wortels: kaal, reguit en eerlik. Jy wil hierdie avontuurlike, jolige, inspirerende rit waarop die RKO jou vat nie misloop nie. “ Theunis Engelbrecht, LITNET.
In episode 2 vertrek Rian en RKO na Oppikoppi 2010 vir hulle optrede daar, onder andere met gaskunstenaar Jack Parow. Dis `n ander wêreld, maar een waarmee RKO se kultus-status sonder moeite saamsmelt. Rock en Boeremusiek is danksy RKO al ou vriende.
As jy so nou en dan uitmaak van rustige musiek en veral hou van chicks met soothing stemme, sal jy heel moontlik van Laurie Levine se musiekhou. Sy trek nou al al by haar derde album, Six Winters, so as jy (soos ons) nog fokken nooit van haar gehoor het nie, is dit dalk nou tyd om bietjie aandag te gee en kennis te maak met haar musiek.
Hieronder is daar 'n tiep van 'n press release waarvan ons al 2 maande terug vergeet het en te lui is om te vertaal, so gooi 'n oog daardeur as jy wil. Andersins, check hierdie cover version wat sy doen van Johnny Cash se "Ring Of Fire". Ek pik sommer 'n fokken traan,
Laurie Levine`s voice fuses childlike playfulness with maturity, a combination that evokes a wide range of emotions; a voice that is simply unique in its ability to engage the listener. Laurie’s catchy folk tunes are reminiscent of what you’d expect to be coming from world class contemporary folk acts the likes of Katie Melua, Lucinda Williams, Alison Krauss, Diana Krall and Emmylou Harris.
Laurie Levine`s third album “Six Winters” has just been released through Rhythm Records. Laurie`s blend of American roots music and the ‘Nu-Folk’ sound has earned her critical acclaim and a growing audience. She has twice been nominated for a SAMA (South African Music Award) in the Adult Contemporary category and she has just returned from the Grahamstown Arts Festival with a Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award for her performances there.
“Six Winters” sets a new benchmark on the South African scene for production standards, arrangement and songwriting in the female vocal genre. The combination of Laurie’s characteristic songwriting and producer Dan Roberts` unique engineering and dedicated production flair is cutting new territory and could very well head up a new movement leading us towards a rekindled appreciation of the power and the role in society of female story telling through music.
Dan Roberts, who worked with Laurie on her previous album as well, found a balance between a contemporary sound and Laurie`s love of folk music. Dan speaks about the way they found the ‘voice’ of the album: “Laurie arrived with a selection of songs that had taken her writing to a new level, more exposed and lyrically the strongest set I've heard from her so far. There's a lot of pain there, but extraordinary beauty too. Laurie had also been listening to some old sounds, early dust bowl depression era and such, but at the same time we both love contemporary electronica, so we settled on what can be best described as a: 'the future is yesterday' approach. We put together a string ensemble: violin, cello, mandolin, banjo, baritone guitar, junk shop autoharps, accordion and piano and threw that into the ring with, what is known in the trade as: 'retro electronica beats' – added some real percussion and ended up with a kind of Appalachian – loop station approach. There's a pulse there, but a delicacy too. I'm really happy with where we ended up and I hope it gets the airing it deserves."
The songs on “Six Winters” were created in a deeply personal space and the album was written over the length of a year. Laurie comments on the writing process: “A lot of the songs came to me in pieces that were put together and completed over a period of time. A song is only finished when it is ready and often it takes you by the hand and leads you to its completion. The process is mysterious and hard to grasp, but you have to let the song speak its truth.”
Laurie’s recordings have been supported by a strong live presence for the last few years, predominantly in and around South Africa, but also in recent years outside of the country. In 2009 she performed at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. She opened for Rodriguez in London, and for Joe Jackson in South Africa. She has also performed at some of South Africa’s premier music events and festivals, including, amongst others: Oppikoppi, the Joy of Jazz Festival, Splashy Fen, Levis Vintage Sundays, Mr Price Pro, the White Mountain Folk Festival and FORR Music Festival in Mozambique.
“Six Winters” is a beautiful album that has a knack of creeping in under one`s skin. Layered with a fresh flow of emotions and musical intelligence, this album is a jewel of a find.
