Hi all, Tutu Puoane is running a crowdfunding campaign to help finance her upcoming album. As you are probably aware, making albums has become increasingly more difficult on the financial level for independent artists, particularly those who operate within rather niche-areas of the market, partly because the return on investment is on the decline (due to the major change in music consumption culture in recent years - streaming platforms etcetera...) At the same time, playing, recording, mixing, mastering, producing, printing is not getting any cheaper when done right by talented professionals - everybody needs to...

Hi everybody, We are very excited to announce a new Tutu Puoane album! It's been a while since she last released original music, but this next project is bound to make up for that for sure. New songs based on beautiful poems of the great South African writer/artist Lebogang Mashile will be recorded in July 2023 with her band featuring Ewout Pierreux (piano), Clemens van der Feen (bass) and Dré Pallemaerts (drums). The album will be produced by Larry Klein. Here's a small clip from a pre-production rehearsal/recording session. The poem the song is based...

Due to warehouse reorganisations of Saphrane, the record label with which Tutu Puoane released her first two albums 'Song' (2007) and 'Quiet Now' (2010), we were able to get a limited stock of CD-copies (50 each).

We are happy to present the debut album of one of Belgium’s finest young guitar players. What started out as a standards trio, grew into a band with Roeland’s own compositions as base material, drenched in rock and pop. The dynamic, colourful and powerful unit features Hendrik Vanattenhoven on bass and Matthias De Waele on drums. On the album they are joined by Frank Vaganée (alto sax), Lennert Baerts (tenor sax) and Muriel Urquidi (voice). Challenging music with original harmonies and unexpected melodic twists, yet beautiful and fun to listen to. Order your physical copy...

Physical cds of Roeland Celis - Celestial Planes are being printed as we speak, and although we're still keeping the album cover under the radar for a while, you can order your copy already in our webshop. You can expect it to arrive in the week before its actual scheduled release day (April 20, 2022). Thanks for supporting independent musicians and their music! xSFR

We just gave Tutu's website a humble but much needed update & make-over. Some stuff will still be added, but you can go have a look already: www.tutupuoanemusic.com. Cheers! SFR. photo © Nunu Ngema
