Blaq Pearl

So it helps to complain to the cosmos? after posting a niggle about a serious lack of wimin in live music , along came a chick with soul.

Blaq Pearl. Remember the name.

She found her way into music for the right reasons (she feels it. she believes in it) and though she's still finding her voice and her sound, she's no baby. watch her and watch out. she'll wrap you round her delicate fingers with a startlingly demure and feisty stage persona. her debut album is an easy blend of cape flats soul and funk, sprinkled with bits of R&B. i think the upbeat tracks are the ones that will carry her and her sly boys forward. She's living proof that Life's No Metaphor.

where are the women?

considering the gender ratio in cape town, you'd expect there to be more women trying to get some attention...

we are seriously low on performers in the feminine.

maybe what we need to do is borrow a little passion from down there (points to punani), use a little bit of what's up here (points to head) and put some heart into it (points east of the smaller boob).

come on girls, it's time you left the audience and clambered on stage!

air your vanities

share your inspiration
give your heels some air time
and give us something to talk about...
