DOWWE DOLLA 007
Eers was daar Plenty OToole, Honey Ryder, Pussy Galore en nou Dolla,
Dowwe Dolla - 007. Sy hou van haar sjokolade
MoShaik gepluk, nie geskud nie. Dolla sluit aan by
die Departement van Oninteligensie (syt hard gesoek,
want daars baie van hulle in die staatsdiens).
Haar missie: om die misterieuse organisasie DOM (Diaboliese
Onnosele Morone) te infiltreer waar hulle ookal
skuil: in die politiek, die sportarena en die
glanswêreld - Dolla se 2010 gaan besig wees. Want
Dr No het uitgevind you dont live(r) twice, Shabir
gaan duidelik Die Another Day, Mike Bolhuis het sy
License to Kill by die Spar gekoop en, as Amor haar
kaarte reg speel, gaan sy Moerryker wees.
Dolla se bra skiet pyle, daar is plofstof in haar
panty en haar lollie is vol sianied, net in geval.
(Syt bietjie vergeet van die lollies, so syt reeds
drie geeet. Dis goed vir die opelyf.) Dowwe Dolla
007: die avontuur begin

Radio Kalahari Orkes
Sedert
Radio Kalahari Orkes
(RKO) se bekendstelling in 2005 KKNK,
het hulle die harte en voete van die hele nasie landwyd opgeëis. Hulle navolgers
is so wydverspreid soos hulle musiek. Afrikaans, Engels, swart, Capies... almal
word geraak en geamuseer deur die orkes.
Voor in die koor is die geliefde stoepsitter van die Kalahari-oase, Boet (Ian
Roberts). Hy lei die orkes in n lewendige, soms aweregse vertoning van die
beste musiek wat Afrikaans sekerlik tans bied. Hulle kan sing! En mondfluitjie
speel, riel, dans en kitare slaan...
RKO was n treffer by Oppikoppi en Innibos.
By die KKNK het mense agter hulle
aangeloop van vertoning na vertoning. In Pretoria was elke optrede van RKO weke
vooruit volbespreek.
Die musiek is uniek en eg-Suid-Afrikaans, met invloede uit die hele skatkis van
die land se kulture. Op die album word geen genre met rus gelaat nie, van goema
tot rock; kwaito tot boeremusiek... en natuurlik nog vele meer. Die orkes se
instrumente sluit in kitare, banjos, mandolien, mondfluitjie, kazoo,
pennywhistle, viool, dromme... en die pragtige Krummelpoppies se
agtergrondstemme.
RKO beoog om binne die volgende paar maande hul volgende cd uit te bring en
belowe om mense weer van hul stoele af te lig en op die dansvloer te kry.
Die songs se lirieke draai ook nie doekies om nie.
Die hele landskap van Suid-Afrikaner wees word ondersoek van rugby tot
affirmative action, van liefdesleed tot vleis-eet.
Uit die pen van Ian Roberts kom ook n skitterende lied oor die baasspeurder
Piet Byleveld.
Die manne agter meeste van die wysies is hoofsaaklik Dan Roberts en
skrywer-joernalis Rian Malan, wat ook sy eie album Alien/Inboorling vrygestel
het en met geweldige entoesiasme ontvang is.
RADIO
KALAHARI ORKES
A hundred years
behind the times, but still capable of blasting you onto the dance floor
The Radio Kalahari Orchestra --
properly known as the Radio Kalahari Orkes or just RKO -- made its debut at the
KKNK back in 2005 and has been winning hearts and minds ever since, spawning a
genre generally known as Noveau Boeremusiek and touching (or at least amusing)
almost every sector of the Afrikaan-speaking community, from teenage hipsters to
their parents and even grand-parents.
RKO was a huge hit at the most
recent Oppikippi and Innibos festivals. At the KKNK, crowds followed them from
stage to stage. In Pretoria, their live appearances are booked out weeks in
advance. Their most recent video, the ribald Blaas Jou Vuvuzela, featuring
rapper Jack Parow, went viral on YouTube earlier this year, wracking up 70,000
hits in a week or two. This is about as hot as it gets in Afrikaans music.
The orkes is fronted by legendary
stoepsitter and raconteur, Ian Roberts, who sings, tells jokes, plays the
bekfluit and dances the occasional jig. His sidemen perform on what Ian calls
plaasgereedskap, or farm implements-- oldtime fiddles, consertina, banjo, kazoo,
pennywhistle and acoustic guitars. The band s slogan is, A hundred years behind
the times, but still on track.
RKO s music is uniquely and
authentically South African, with influences ranging from thirties Boeremusiek
to goema, maskanda and American country & western (filtered via Bapsfontein and
Springbok Radio.) Lyrics tend towards witty dissection of contemporary local
dilemmas like underperforming rugby teams, affirmative action and crime, as in
the immortal, As die kar nog daar is. (If the car s still there...)
RKO is produced by film maker Dan
Roberts, who roped in his buddy Rian Malan to help with the writing and
associated provocations. The boys first outing, Stoomradio, went gold in 2005.
Next came Die Nagloper (the night walker,) a tribute to hellraising 1930s
boeremusiek rebel Dawie de Lange. Their latest CD, Heuningland, received rave
reviews in the Afrikaans press and is presently available in good music stores.
So put on your dancing shoes,
because RKO s coming your way.

Wie
is
Glaskas?
Glaskas het
ontstaan toe hulle oorspronklik in 2004 deelgeneem het aan die Jip Rockspaaider
kompetisie.
Die naam
beteken eenvoudig dat hulle vasgevang voel in die glaskas wat die wereld rondom
hulle gebou het. Die feit dat dit n GLASkas is beteken dat hulle voel hulle kan
die moontlikhede voor hulle sien, maar aangesien hulle gebind word deur die
reels van werklikheid voel hulle teruggehou om die moontlikhede te ervaar.
Musiek is egter n briljante en vir hulle die beste manier om stadig maar seker
hierdie glas te breek...
