Luna Paige speaks to Martin Myers
Paige is very excited to introduce music lovers and festival goers to a brand new show in March 2020. “Smeltkroes” will make its debut at the annual Klein Karoo National Arts Festival and is going to be a sure treat. In this show Luna Paige will be collaborating with musicians Frazer Barry, Ramon Alexander and poet /singer Jolyn Philips. She will also be sharing the stage with poet Shirmoney Rhode and actors Breyten Treurnicht and Devonecia Swartz. The show celebrates the diversity of Afrikaans through its various music styles, its poetry and its literature. It includes poetry by Nathan Trantraal, Diana Ferrus, Pieter Odendaal, Gaireyah Fredericks and more. It also includes literary works by Dana Snyman, Catherine Willemse and ID du Plessis. Be sure to make a plan to see this top-class production. Thank you to Nati (Nasionale Afrikaanse Teater Instituut) for supporting this music theatre production. We are excited to be working with Nicole Holm who will be directing. For those who won’t be able to head out to Oudtshoorn in March, be sure to catch the once off performance at Artscape during the Suidoosterfees end of April – early May 2020. Luna would also like to thank RSG who commissioned this production for Skatkis 2018.
Amazing review!

Luna and Gerald in Lovemore
Lovemore is about love, but not just the flowery fuzzy kind. The two explore all the nitty gritty aspects of the powerful emotion, using both their own songs and some covers, sharing their own experiences and reasons for using songs along the way.
They explore different genres, with some good ol’ blues, a little soul, a touch of folk and some country.

The moment I stepped into The Mahogany Room, I stepped out of my comfort zone. A far cry from dusty farms with hordes of rock fans, and giant stadiums filled with EDM artists’ flashing lights, The Mahogany Room is a small, cozy and dimly-lit venue that is inherently warm and inviting and dominated by jazz. It is a place well-known for giving jazz artists a creative base in the Mother City, for giving artists the platform to share their art with an appreciative audience. Of course, it embraces the past as well: while enjoying a drink at the bar, I took some time to gaze at the striking black and white portraits of famous South African jazz artists that pepper the walls of the room. Some of these photographs, I was informed by the friendly bar staff, were taken years before when many of these artists were in exile abroad. As much as I wanted to delve into more of the history, I was not here to look at pictures, and surprisingly, neither was I here to listen to a jazz set.

I have a fairly eclectic taste in music and I’m always interested to try something new, be it the latest Zef offering or the next level of dub step. The great thing with music is my taste changes to suit my mood. Some musicians are great to listen to in rapt silence, others are suited for behind an evening with friends and others are ideal for that long car drive with an awesome sound system.

For those of you who understand Afrikaans, click here to read this Afrikaans review of the Storielied DVD and CD.
Reviewed by Matt Tennyson.
Although I’m Irish, I’ve lived in South Africa long enough to learn Afrikaans and I speak it fairly fluently, as I do Zulu. That being said, the number of Afrikaans albums in my rather large music library is limited. So I wasn’t sure if I would be the right person to review Luna Paige’s first Afrikaans album, Storielied. But I’m glad I did.
Luna has done three English albums, but Storieleid is her first Afrikaans one. And let’s hope it’s her first of many Afrikaans albums. This is by far the best Afrikaans album I’ve listened to this year. I’d even go as far as to say that Storielied would be in my Top Ten of all the Afrikaans albums I’ve ever listened too.

Luna hooked up with the editor of the Hipe Magazine in December 2012. This online magazine is aimed at providing some food for thought for the youth of SA. What makes this magazine extra special is that they encourage the youth to become involved as journalists themselves. Check out this great article by Matt Tennyson and flip through the magazine.

If you’ve ever heard Luna Paige sing, you won’t forget her. She has one of those remark- able voices that leaves an imprint that lingers.
A local singer/songwriter, this plucky lass with the honey-drenched voice recently launched her latest album, Storielied. Using Afrikaans literature as her backdrop, and teaming up with hotshot guitarist Schalk Joubert, this is one for musical bookworms.
