To get to my mother’s desk I had to walk through a curio shop. It was one of those dreadfully cheesy African curio shops, with the carved wooden and stone animals, the beads and the bowls, like you find at any South African airport, the Moyo restaurants and the Durban beachfront. I have that exact same feeling (as if I’m back in that curio shop) when I come across certain music videos made by South African bands. What is with this new trend with our bands who think that by merely smearing white face paint across their videos it will make them mysterious and exotic?
South African band aKING will rock the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town tonight as they launch their third album, “The Red Blooded Years”. The album, described by the band as “effortless and balanced”, is included in the ticket price of R150. How’s that for effortless?
