KURT DARREN AT WILD COAST SUN



(Kurt Darren)

South Africa’s Prince of Afrikaans pop, Kurt Darren kicks off 2015 with an intimate concert at the Wild Coast Sun where he will introduce his fans to his latest album, Lied vir die Vrou.

The uber-popular singer takes to the stage at the Tropical Nites Theatre on January 3, 2015, for one night only.

“We are thrilled to confirm that Kurt Darren will be bringing his tour to the Wild Coast in the New Year. Fans can look forward to seeing him perform songs from his new album live on stage. It promises to be a memorable and energetic show,” says Logan Moodley of LM Promotions at the Wild Coast Sun.

Lied vir die Vrou is a festival of lyrics, melody and rhythm – in true Kurt Darren style. The album comprises 14 diverse songs that lend themselves to foot-stomping-hip-shaking-sokkie, two-step, jive, a slowdance or simply a relaxed bit of easy listening.

The words and melodies on this album blend effortlessly to capture anything from a loud and light-hearted party, to stories and pearls of wisdom about life, to more quiet and intimate moments in music.

Tracks on the album include the title track - ‘Lied vir die vrou’ – as well as Cowboys & crooks, Dans op die tafels, Saggies praat, Laat die poppe dans, Hart van glas, Ek is jou skaduwee, Oooh lala and many more.

The very catchy Bicycle sonder ‘n slot medley also features on the album – offering colourful new renditions of Koos Kombuis’ Bicycle sonder ‘n slot, Kruidjie roer my nie and Klein bietjie wyn by Anton Goosen, as well as Laurika Rauch’s ever popular hit, Stuur groete aan Mannetjies Roux.

Kurt takes to the Tropical Nites Theatre stage on January 3 at 20h00 but fans are urged to arrive earlier as seating is unreserved. Tickets R120 (R80 under 15’s). Tickets are available at Computicket and at the Wild Coast Sun’s Cinema 2.
