CAMA GWINI'S BRAND NEW SINGLE
OFFICIAL PSEUDO VIDEO OF BRAND NEW SINGLE ‘Jikel’emaweni’ - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d0BalJWdTQ&feature=youtu.be OFFICIAL FACEBOOK FAN PAGE - http://www.facebook.com/CamaGwiniOfficial Native Rhythms Productions and Sony Music are please to announce the completion of an exciting brand new single titled ‘Jikel’emaweni’ - ahead of Cama Gwini’s new studio album titled ‘Re-birth’ (Nov 2012) - produced by new kid on the block, Jonny Joburg. This time, the enigmatic songstress has chosen to separate her name, Camagwini, to Cama Gwini, drawing a clear separation from the past, and a notable move into a new future. The point of departure begins with Cama Gwini’s original compositions and new music recorded for this highly anticipated release, which shows her growth both in a musical sense and in terms of her spiritual being – revealing a matured artist in the truest sense. For Native Rhythms Productions, this marks a return of the prodigal daughter, who’s been there, and back. After years of self-imposed musical exile - and an outcry from fans who wish to remain inseparable from her natural magnetism - seeking more music - sees the enchanting Cama Gwini responding to a musical calling with absolute clarity - in her intent and determination - to claim her space with complete differentiation. Cama Gwini broke onto the music scene in the late 2000’s and with much fan fair. Just like her bold sense of style, so too her music shows brashness of an artist who truly believes that music is a liberating factor in the realms of soul, body, and mind. With this album, and under the stewardship of Jonny Joburg, Cama Gwini shows a distinct and deliberate move towards a sound that is more global, pop rock, yet soulful and smooth. Her African pedigree is still evident in her vocal improvisation, and sparse chants, that always seem to sneak in a manner that will inspire graceful dancing, which is both courageous and liberating at the same time. With this album, one can truly say Cama Gwini has delved into harnessing her talent to produce her best work to date. Songs like ‘Jikel’emaweni’, ‘Nguwe Lo’, ‘We Ngomso Lam’, ’Egoli’ and ‘Uphind’ubuye’ will carry this album for years to come. She delivers the songs with much ease, taking charge - and straddles between harmonies, improvisations and raves. Well written, well spoken, and supported by excellent music compositions, Cama Gwini has successfully created silence in her music – a testimony to a saying ‘harmony to the spheres’ because here music is pleasant to listen to. Cama Gwini’s music is brave, trendsetting, and courageously boundless. She keeps breaking new ground and will do so infinitely given her nature as a creative being. “Re-birth means so many things to me” says Cama Gwini - “It is a positive change and represents enlightenment - it is the power within all of us, in order for that power to reveal itself we need to exercise it. I call the exercising process the 'Rebirthing process'”.
“I went through a Re-birthing process which is the change in mind, heart, thought, and in words. In order for me to see myself as the Universe sees me - completely, wholly, and perfectly - I needed to discipline myself and enter the Universe. That was the Re-birthing process.”
“I've discovered the beauty in music and the beauty in my voice through the Re-birthing process and I am offering this on my new album” says Cama Gwini. “This album is called Re-birth because everything is new and different from my previous albums. The sound and image have changed to embrace the Re-birth of Cama Gwini. This will be noticeable on the new album sleeve which is jaxtaposing the rural and the futuristic in one and representing the move from a traditional Xhosa sound to an Afro-Futuristic sound I prefer to call Afro-Rock. “My first single ‘Jikel’emaweni’ gives you exactly what I mean by Afro–Rock. Enjoy!” - Cama Gwini For Media Enquiries Please contact Sony Music Entertainment on Tel: 011 274 5000E-mail: [email protected] or E-mail: [email protected] Management contact Native Rhythms Productions on Tel. +27 11 447 5199 Email: [email protected] - Website: www:nativerhythms.co.za
