DIE MK 6DE AVONTOER
Posted by: Ashley Brown
Afrika se grootste rock 'n roll toer, Die MK Avontoer – die een wat alle ander musiektoere soos ouetehuis-uitstappies laat lyk – se enjins vuur reeds om volgende maand hulle 6de aanslag op die Suid-Afrikaanse kus te vier.
In die gees van die reisende karnivalle van ouds bring die MK Avontoer ’n spul musikante, fotograwe, troebadoere, kulkunstenaars, seerowers, aanhangers en gemene geesdriftiges saam vir ‘n ongekende mobiele partytjie.
Met meer as ’n 130 kreatiewe kreature gekonsentreerd op 2 busse, wat hulle eie tentedorp saamsleep en niks meer op die spyskaart het as ‘n goeie tyd nie, is Die MK Avontoer al sedert 2006 die kersie op die kus se kerskalender.
Die Avontoer alumni sluit verteenwoordeigers vanuit elke uithoek van die Suid-Afrikaanse diaspora in wat vir ’n paar dae in Desember skouer aan skouer ‘n baanbrekende, genre buigende, kopsmeltende avontuur met mekaar deel.

HHP Becomes Ninth Artist to Join Sing ’it!
Posted by: Ashley Brown
Cape Town: Sing ’it has just got bigger and cooler. Co-sponsors of the lyrics-writing competition, LitNet and Sanlam, are proud to announce that the ninth mystery artist to join the already star-studded line-up of local bands is none other than Jabulani Tsambo, better known as HHP, or Hip Hop Pantsula, or Jabba, one of South Africa’s biggest hip hop artists.
HHP has turned local hip hop on its head with his good-time grooves and grand personality. He released his new album on 15 September 2011.
The singer flew into Cape Town from Durban that same week to star in the last Sing ’it advertisement. The shoot took place at Buchanan Studios in Woodstock and was directed and shot by The Suits – the same company responsible for the other three Sing ’it advertisements, which feature Bouwer Bosch, Jax Panik, iScream & the Chocolate Stix and Deon Lotz, among others.
HHP Sing 'it TV Ad
Sing ’it project manager Steyn du Toit says that with this addition of HHP the line-up is now more powerful than ever. “HHP is one of the biggest and most well-loved hip hop artists in South Africa. He complements the rest of our artists perfectly, and we cannot wait to hear what his song will sound like.”
Since the launch of Sing ’it, South Africa’s first lyrics-writing competition of its kind, the response from the media and public has been tremendous. With more than a month still left until the 30th October deadline for entries, the tally already sits at nearly 700 entries, 1 700 views on the ads on YouTube, 2 700 “likes” on Facebook and 130 followers on Twitter.
What’s in it for aspirant songwriters? A chance to get their hands on an iPad 2, R3 000 cash, and a shot at featuring in a music video by their favourite artist.
Sanlam sponsorship manager Andre Kearns, who joined the artist on the set, said HHP brings a very funky and vibey feel to the competition. “One of the main objectives of the competition is to showcase local talent, and the video shoot blew me away. The planners, the people doing the work behind the scenes, the director, and of course the ones we see on our screens: HHP is a real star, and although it was their first commercial shoot, models Jessekha Goldstone and Tammy Herdien kept their cool. All the talent sit right here in South Africa.”
Kearns urged the public to submit their lyrics, adding that “you never know, you may become a world famous lyricist”.
Comments director Derick Muller: “The shoot on Monday went extremely well and this is definitely the biggest advertisement in the Sing ’it marketing campaign. Jabba (HHP) and the whole team from LitNet were an absolute pleasure to work with. The advertisement will definitely draw the attention of all HHP’s fans and will inspire them to enter the competition.”

Sing 'it ! Songwriting competition
Hoping to start a career in songwriting? Now’s your chance!
Cape Town, 7 September 2011: In a first for South Africa, nine of the country’s favourite singers and bands have partnered with Sanlam, LitNet and MK (DSTV Channel 324) to invite talented songwriters to submit their lyrics to be recorded as an official single.
This competition, known as Sing ’it, kicks-off today and will present the winning songwriters with an iPad 2 and R3 000 each, as well as the opportunity for one of them to feature in a music video by their favourite artist.
The ninth, mystery artist will be announced shortly. The other eight, diverse artists and groups, all enjoying a strong presence in their respective musical genres, are:
- Karen Zoid
- Jax Panik
- DJ Cleo
- Dans Dans Lisa
- Bittereinder
- iScream & The Chocolate Stix
- Niskerone & SFR
- Dance, You’re on Fire
Entries close at the end of October. After that, the judges (comprising the abovementioned artists), will comb through the entries, select their favourite, and record it as an official single. All nine songs will then be made available for free downloading for two months.
The band with the highest number of downloads will receive a budget for a music video for that song from MK. The video will be played on MK, as well as on other channels, and posted online.
"It will be incredible to interact with the fans on a more personal level – let’s see what we can create together," says iScream & the Chocolate Stix guitarist Just Nathan.
Comments André Kearns, sponsorship manager at Sanlam: “Sanlam recognises the importance of our cultural diversity in celebrating the creativity of all South Africans, whilst empowering the youth at the same time – hence our investment in a number of social and cultural initiatives.”
He adds that Sing ’it not only embodies Sanlam’s corporate message of ‘Start with what you hope for’ but can also be linked to the ‘National Start Something Day’, which was launched on 2 September 2011 to inspire everyday people to take up a new hobby – whether it be learning a new language or starting to write songs, in this case.
“We are also planning to bring on board another local popular ninth artist, but this will be kept secret for now!” confirms Kearns.
LitNet Executive Editor Etienne van Heerden enthuses: “Fresh, hip, inclusive, creative, energetic and fun, Sing ’it is truly South African in that it crosses cultural boundaries and celebrates diversity in creating an exciting platform for new writers.
“LitNet encourages writing in all forms – from poetry to blogs to reviews – and now lyrics as well. Sing ’it is going to be big!”
From a cross-cultural collaboration point of view, musicians and songwriters from all over South Africa will have the chance to work together and are bound to influence one another’s work. This should reflect in the quality and diversity of recordings that the process will produce, says MK, the official media sponsor.

About the artists
Karen Zoid: Karen needs little introduction. TIME magazine and US News & World Report have referred to her as a true icon on the South African music scene. The release of her album “Terms & Conditions” was one of the musical highlights of last year.
Jax Panik: Jax Panik has just won a 2011 SAMA for his second album, I am Jax Panik. With a constant presence on radio and MK and at sold-out shows, Jax is set to become a firm competition favourite.
DJ Cleo: With more than one SAMA under his belt, DJ Cleo has been one of the leading figures on the local house, kwaito, and hip hop scene, both as a producer and as a world-famous artist.
Dans Dans Lisa: The well-known acoustic duo of Deon Meiring (Glaskas) and Bouwer Bosch (Straatligkinders) boasts an MK award for “Campus Hit of the Year” and became the first South African band ever to release an album live on national television.
Dance, You’re On Fire: This exciting punk-rock band released their debut album in February this year, and have since been dominating Top 40’s around the country. They have quickly established themselves as one of the new bands that are making people sit up and listen.
Bittereinder: Another SAMA winner! With years of collective experience on the local music scene, these talented guys formed Bittereinder and released the first Afrikaans dubstep album in 2010.
iScream & The Chocolate Stix: Their first single, “My Cape Town”, has received national recognition on radio and in the press. They are currently filming a reality series around their rise to fame and are being described as one of the freshest new acts out of Cape Town.
Niskerone & SFR: Niskerone’s innovative, energised DJ shows have earned him headline bookings for festivals such as Oppikoppi, Synergy Live, Rezonance and Rocking The Daisies. He is also one of very few DJs who can boast three permanent residencies at big clubs across South Africa.
