I am so excited about this with all the great released waiting for my musical taste buds. We have some great local music on the horizon and there are some international releases which it also high on my i-want-to-hear list.

| Mango Groove |
On the home grown front, Mango Groove is back. Iconic SA
group Mango Groove released their first single in over 6 years in Nov 2015. The
song is called ‘’Faces to the Sun’’: It is truly a big slice of Summer Power
Pop, with that unmistakeably infectious Mango Groove sound, and is a true
celebration of South African-ness! The single is the first of several from the
group’s forthcoming album ‘’Sing the Beloved Country’’ (release date March
2016) The album has been over 4 years in the making, and represents a
celebration of great SA songs through the decades, featuring Mango Groove and
key collaborations with some of South Africa’s most legendary and timeless
artists.
