Ok, I’m going to slightly biased. I love Foto na Dans. Their live act is insane. Tight, epic and passionate. Le-Roi has an amazing voice.
Now Tollies is really random venue. Very unlike Foto na Dans, but I guess they were invited to play. The stage was very small, but they managed. The sound however wasn’t that great. Le-Roi’s vocals was a bit muddy.
They played a really random set: two new songs and Vergeet van My was not the set closer, rather 4th from last. Usually that’s the clincher, but Hou Jou Hand Bymekaar took the spot as set closer this time around. I haven’t seen them since the end of last year, but they do more crowd participation now, and it was especially apparent in Hou Jou Hand Bymekaar and Vergeet van My.
Despite a random set I will always enjoy Foto na Dans. They are doing new things with music and not just copying international trends with Afrikaans lyrics. Along with Lark, I rate them as the best local group in South Africa. Going to check them out at Coke Zero Fest. Really excited to see them on such a huge scale.
