Vote for Jah Soldiers

Jah Soldiers is a reggae group from Limpopo who have been in the music industry for almost a decade now. With three albums under their belt, there seems to be no stopping from these roots reggae specialists from Mbilwi. Jah Soldiers’ first album, ‘Thavha ndi nngana’, was released in 2006, followed by ‘Innocent siblings’ in 2010. Their latest offering, ‘Nndededze’, was released to much critical acclaim. Jah Soldiers’ latest album, ‘Nndededze’, stands in line to scoop this year’s award for the Best Reggae category on the popular South African Traditional Music Achievements (SATMA) Awards. The group’s leader, Tendani Maiwashe, is equally excited about this glorious opportunity to represent reggae music in these much coveted awards.

Speaking to the popular Ras Donald khanari on a recent interview on Phala-Phala FM, Tendani Maiwashe had this to say about the title track ‘Nndededze’:  “Holwu ndi luimbo lune ndi lu vhidza uri lu holy, ndi thabelo. Ndi vha ndi tshi khou rabela kha Mudzimu wa vhorine, ri tshi khou sumbedza uri ri khou humbela u rangiwa phanda, vha ri dededze.”

We are urging all and sundry to please vote for Jah Soldiers before the closing date. To vote for Jah Soldiers sms: (SATMA, JAH SOLDIERS, BEST REGGAE) TO 34066   SMS costs R1.50 (Free SMS’s do not apply).

Mpho Regalo CD/DVD Launch Saturday 05 July 2014 @ UNISA

MPho Regalo will be launching his Live DVD and CD on Saturday the 05^th of July 2014 at UNISA (ZK Mathews Hall) in Pretoria. Recorded in December 2013 at Rhema, fans have been anxiously waiting for the release of this DVD. Some have dubbed it album of the year, and if the CD is anything to go by, I completely concur.

 Mpho Regalo has been mesmerising local gospel circles with his finely tuned classics. When I first heard his own written songs I was taken aback. He is a well-groomed writer, singer, performer, and many countless things that he juggles when executing his God-given tasks. He is so energetic and when performing, he gives it his all and also knows how to engage with the crowd. I must say the performance on this live album was well executed and I am just waiting for the awards season to open so I can celebrate with this brother who hails from Khubvi.

This album is a healer and everything that every believer needs, I mean daily. You will dance, cry, praise the Lord and anything that the spirit will direct.

From the first track this album will take you into some space that you’ll be able to be better believe and say out loud that “I am a winner”. Mpho just knows how to praise the Lord musically that you’ll have no choice but to join along with him. The album brings along a very powerful spirit that you’ll need a dosage of it each and every day.

 

P.S. I’ll go just to see Mpho performing “Ndi dovhe ndi vhone”

 

Do not miss this opportunity to see Regalo live on stage in Pretoria. Tickets are available at Computicket and Shoprite. For more info contact: 072 315 1123.
