History was made last year
when Colbert “Harley” Mukwevho & Family recorded their first ever live DVD
at Bassline in Johannesburg. The venue was full, the atmosphere electrifying,
and the performance out of this world. I saw the preview of the DVD on youtube and believe you me, this is a
must have for all “Harley” fans. The sound, the picture, the music and the
people were just too perfect and I can’t wait for the SAMA’s (South African
Music Awards) to see if this time they can scoop an award for best DVD of the
year. I hope I’m not the only one, but I can’t wait to see ‘Hero’s Party’ which
I’m sure is going to be one of the DVD’s highlights. The DVD will be launched
on the 30th of March 2013 at the same venue, Bassline (Newtown,
Johannesburg).
Fans have been eagerly waiting
for the long overdue DVD. Now, come the 30th of March all this will
change as “Harley” will launch the DVD titled Lion & Son O’ Lion Tour Live
DVD. “Harley”, whose career span well over three decades will be launching a
DVD which will surely put his reggae music and his band on the global market.
The DVD features Colbert’s sons Percy (aka P.Postman) and the young, ever-energetic
Junior. Junior, to the amazement of all present, beautifully performed Bob
Marley’s hit ‘How many times’.
A big argument is going on
that reggae music has no place in today’s society. I do not engage myself in
such, and I’m sure a lot of people will stop once they get the copy of the DVD . Reggae music is very much alive and still relevant.
Colbert has never disappointed his fans, I doubt he ever will. From his early
years with the Comforters, being Harley & the Rasta Family, now Colbert
Mukwevho & Family, he has produced hits, anthems, hyms etc. He is a legend,
Period! Remember ‘Hero’s party with
Brenda, ‘Soon and very soon’?
Remember ‘Hoyo wanu o naka’, ‘Tshigotshanama’? Remember Why??, Mmbwa I do lammbwa? Remember Senzo Mthethwa’s ‘Worshipping your love’? That’s Colbert ‘Harley’ Mukwevho for you.
South Africans, embrace what’s yours. I used to sit and think that I should
have been born during Bob Marley’s era, and yesterday I realised that there are
kids like me who would wish they were born during ‘Harley’s era. I am living my
dream now, and one day I’ll sit and brag about being there when history was
unfolding.
To Colbert’s management, ndi
ri mishumo yavhudi ro I vhona. A ni ri tshileli!
