Unique South African Musical Creation Sets Souls on Fire
Oct 14th 2012, 20:35

Two South African classical musicians have created a musical production that's being hailed around the world. Opera singer Zanne Stapelberg and pianist Kathleen Tagg are the architects of the show, called Soul of Fire – by some critical accounts one of the most remarkable musical productions ever to have come from South Africa. ​​The performance blends Spanish folk songs with vibrant tango, jazz and flamenco from Latin America. It mixes opera music from Spain with classical art songs from ...

Voice of America: Singer Auriol Hays Molds Personal Torment into Brilliant Second Album

Voice of America is an international news and broadcast organization serving Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Balkan countries
Singer Auriol Hays Molds Personal Torment into Brilliant Second Album
Oct 14th 2012, 21:31

Auriol Hays's second record is a cascading blend of genres that include soul, jazz and blues, interpreted by one of the strongest voices to emerge on the South African music scene in many years.   The album is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and moods. It condemns deceit and pleas for peace. It's faithless yet reverent, luminescent with the idea of falling in love and angry over its pitfalls. ​​Some songs are sinister, others offer playful swagger; some crackle with electronic menace, ...

Singer Songwriter Shannon Hope Delivers Adult Pop Gem
Oct 14th 2012, 21:57

On stage, South African singer Shannon Hope is a feline presence, her lithe body accentuated by a tight, black satin dress, spiked onyx hair, glossed lips and red stilettos. She moves languidly behind her instrument of choice, an electric piano. But when she starts to sing, it's apparent that she's no purring pussycat. ​​ Hope's voice is powerful but pure, the perfect accompaniment to her personal songs that exude emotional turmoil but also, ultimately, the attainment of inner peace.   ...

Lucy Kruger's Unique Voice Celebrates Love of Music
Oct 14th 2012, 21:47

Like most critics, South Africa's are never lost for words. But now they're struggling to describe one of the freshest voices to emerge on the country's indie rock scene in recent years.   The representation that appears to have resonated most was in a recent issue of the South African edition of Rolling Stone magazine. It said Lucy Kruger's voice hovers somewhere between those of celebrated English songstress Kate Bush and Irish chanteuse Dolores O' Riordan, of hit-making 1990s pop ...

Oct 14th 2012, 21:14

When she was a teenager a few years ago, Natasha Meister strolled into a hazy bar in the country of her birth, Canada. She and her elder sister, Cherie, were there to perform in a music competition.   The sisters had been singing gospel music since they were toddlers. But, unbeknown to them, they'd signed up to compete with some of the area's best amateur blues artists. ​​The awestruck teens walked into a crescendo of electric guitars, growling vocals and leather clad men singing about ...

Montenegro's ruling coalition has taken a strong lead in Sunday's parliamentary election.  Exit polls show the center-left Democratic Party of Socialists, led by veteran political Milo Djukanovic, won 46 percent of the vote, which would extend their 20-year hold on power in the former Yugoslav republic.  The exit polls showed the lead opposition Democratic Front taking only 20 percent of the vote.  Sunday's vote comes as Montenegro seeks membership in the European ...
