Welcome to Dala Flat, HOSH!
The end of another year looms and its time for the sun and fun in Cape Town. We love the holidays and we love the family that surrounds and supports and believes all things DALA FLAT. Year end means another installement to the NEW BUYS/RARE FINDS compilation series. NEW BUYS/RARE FINDS 2011 is the fourth installemt in the series, and is a reflection of the music we’ve collected over the past year. It features some great tunes that we’ve hunted on vinyl for ages, like Paul Winter’s Sea Joy, 24 Carot Black’s Best of a Good Love Gone, the sublimely awsome redition by James Brown of the Bobby Hebb classic Sonny. And a few more beautiful and future classics, like the Chicargo based techno producer Hieroglyphic Being’s Strange Strings #2, History Town by Mos Dub, two live classic versions by Joe Jackson and by Al Jarreau, and rounding things off with the beautifully sensual and moody song by Gato Barbieri from the film with the same title, Last Tango in Paris.

We’ve been busy… The latest news is the submission of the song ‘Child of the Goema‘ into a goema remix competition run by Creative Cape Town. And what a great tune it is! Pure Goema soul from the streets of the Cape Flats!! Check it out here: http://soundcloud.com/dala-flat. We’ll let you know how we do, but please have a listen and give us some feedback.
We are also planning to shoot a music video for the song. The idea for the video is to get as many people prancing their Goema moves to the song. So come on show us your moves and let us know if you’re interested in jigging on film.
