Al begin die pandemie afwaartse neigings toon, is daar teikens dat wêreldvrede meer onstabiel raak. Mens wonder soms hoe wêreldleiers heeldag oor wêreldvrede en internasionale diplomatiek preek, terwyl hulle geheime staatsdienste het soos CIA, FBI, KGB, MOSSAD ens. ens. wat koue oorlog teen mekaar voer.

Country and Gospel singer Charlie Dicks, is well known, but here is some ‘tit-bits’ of her
Posted on Leave a comment
The professional singing career of Charlie Dicks started in 1982 with the recording of a former known seven single. A long player soon followed, as did an invitation to share the stage with several well known South African artists at the Windhoek show. Hard work followed and slowly but surely the music industry took note of this new artist whose popularity with audiences increased.
In 1986 she was heard on the country hit parade for the first time with her hit song “Medals for mothers”. Several other hits like “Green to Blue”, “Walking piece of heaven” and “It’s a lovely lovely world” followed which firmly placed her foot in the door of the South African music industry.
Charlie made her television debut in the music programme “Sing Country”, which led to invitations to star in similar programmes as, Music-a-la-Carte, Uit die pluiskuil, TV 4 Special and the popular Noot-vir-Noot. Later i

Coenie de Villiers needs no introduction, here is a ‘short’ Bio of him
Posted on Leave a comment
Coenraad Grabe (Coenie) de Villiers was born in Bloemfontein on October 11, 1956.
Coenie de Villiers has changed the landscape of South African music and in particular Afrikaans music over the past 40 years.
His first recording (an own composition for EMI and released in 1978/9) won a SARIE Award and the originality of the song foreshadowed what has become one of the most radical and important creative careers in South African music.
His career has subsequently spanned nearly four decades and nearly 20 albums of his own material, garnered three SAMA awards and numerous other accolades, including the medal of honour by the South African Council of Arts and Sciences. His creative work and recordings have been banned by the previous regime, but he has consistently broken down barriers in the face of adversity and shunned commercial credit in the process.
