With the preconceived idea of what Afrikaans music has been turned into these days...If it can still be counted as music...I set off to see what was in store...
To say the least I was surprised beyond measure. With fresh clean tones, and well thought out lyrics, he appealed to the whole audience. Some songs even had the audience rhythmically tapping along with their feet and clapping their hands...
This album has been in the making for the last 6 months (all original tracks) with the likes of Wouter van de Venter. Contributing to the successful production were Juan Floors Oosthuizen, Carle van Deventer, Clinton Waring en Vinnie Henrico.
On the guest list there were names like Laurika Rauch, her husband Christopher Torr (well known songwriter) and Tinus Esterhuizen (from the popular RSG) along with other musicians.

Dromerlaan contains a variety of musical styles. From funk-pop to modern-country mixed in with a few ballads and one or two rock-like melodies. The highlight of the evening was an acoustic duet ‘As ek verlief raak’ in collaboration with singer/rocker and songwriter Wouter van de Venter.
To get your hands on a copy of this exciting new CD, email dromerlaan@gmail.com. It is available for an unbelievable R100 (incl postage), and is most definitely worth every cent.
