The soil live performance |
They started doing their thing in township with music that touches your soul. A group of young talented musicians from Soweto in a location called Protea. They met six years ago while they were learners at Tetelo secondary school in Protea north. When they started the group there were six members, who used to sing in after school jam sessions on Fridays. The other members left the group, now there are only four members left who are still keeping the soul alive. Luphindo Ngxanga, Ntsika Ngxanga, Samkelo Mdolomba, and Buhlebendalo Mda are the ones who are left in the group who are doing all the live performances and the recordings. The group performs without musical instruments with the back-up being beat box sounds of their own making. They tell us in their several interviews that they have never accessed instruments as artist so they make their own instrument. This crew gives thanks for wonderful support from the Nation Arts festival audience as the library hall in hill street that never saw empty seats in their shows. I urge everyone who loves music to go and buy their wonderful and moving album in music stores titled 'THE SOIL' and to those who do piracy can we please stop that and support our local artist and empower the in order for them to be successful and produce more music for our entertainment.
wow push i had no idea about this group called "the soil" I enjoyed reading about the soil and gained more insight about it,how they perfprm and where they perform. looking forward to reading more about artists and the music industry.
ReplyDeleteWell im guessing the argument here is around piracy in a perfect world where the rand was equal to the pound and the dollar and all white people loved black people and vice versa that wish would come true and the soil would blow up and be a beaken of light for future artists to come but this is South Africa a third world banana rebublic and piracy is here to stay... big ups to the soil though i love music with soul especially that sunday track
ReplyDeleteDreaming of you is my favourite track from this oh so talented group..another brand of fresh new musicians straight from soweto..what inspires them to make their own instrument sounds?.i love this group and even though they are not getting as much attention from the airwaves(radiostations)true fans like me..are 100% behind them*
