Various Artists : Women With A Voice Chapter 2 |
|
| |
 On the occasion of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday in 2008 the time has come to release the second chapter of the comprehensive documentary of South African vocalists. The point of our efforts this time was to put together an entertaining mix comprised of very young talent, singers like Siphokazi, Zamajobe or Lira who have only recently made first appearances at the South African Music Awards, and, in counterpoint, to feature the land's absolute legends like Dorothy Masuka or Gospel Queen Rebecca Malope. Also included are South Arica's hottest music exports at the time Feshlyground and Simphiwe Dana . Brenda Fassie and Linda Kekana pays homage with her songs to the first black president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. The album is accompanied by a booklet containing remarks about each singer from Wolfgang König, a journalist and profound authority of on South Africa. His commentary represents a meticulously researched introduction on the various careers and lyrical content.
Press Quotes:
Nicky Bluemnfeld - Radio Kaya FM, Johannesburg: "Featuring fresh sounds from South Africa, this selection affirms that female singers remain at the forefront of their country's rich vocal legacy. From living - legends and multiple-award winners, to rising stars and debut artists, these are stories that reflect a region; sung with voices that speak to the world."
