DinsdagDeuntjies #FanClub

My beautiful friend Clarice Pieterse launched a new online initiative about 3 months ago called #DinsdagDeuntjie and it is so exciting to see how this seemingly 'small' seed and concept has grown and mushroomed into the ever-growing movement in music that's creating a platform for artists to showcase themselves and their work, particularly those who are 'up-and-comings' and new to the industry!

It all started with the idea to get musos and singers to upload their covers of Afrikaans songs accompanying themselves or accompanied by musician friends - just to celebrate their love for music and get their voices out there!

It has quickly evolved and every Tuesday we eagerly await all the brand new 'TuesdayTunes' for the week to be loaded to the DinsdagDeuntjie Facebook PAGE or artists using the #DinsdagDeuntjie hashtag on their own pages.

This is the story on the DinsdagDeuntjie Page about how it came about and how it works:
Dinsdae is die dag net na Maandag…en vir baie van die kreatiewes wat vassit in ń 9-5 werk …begin die week lekker ritme vang ...na n Blou Maandag…En dis hoekom Dinsdae MOOI moet wees!!!

#DinsdagDeuntjies gee enige persoon wat n Afrikaanse liedjie op die hart het die geleentheid om dit te leer speel…te record en met die wereld te deel!! Mens weet nooit wie sien jou video raak nie…
Jy mag dalk net ons Land se volgende groot ster wees!!!(=
Die trick is dat jy moet COLLABORATE…
As jy (nog)nie n instrument speel nie, kry n pel Of Pelle wat jou kan begelei…DAN IS DIT ń:
#DuoDinsdagdeuntjie. Daag jouself uit om n instrument te leer speel en saam te sing…DAN IS DIT ń:#DinsdagDeuntjie

Wees kreatief!!! Ons sien uit om julle videos te sien!!! 1 keer n week . Dinsdae. MakingMagic. Afrikaans. Akoesties!! PS. Geen Backtracks nie asseblief!!

Many of our crazy talented Mentorship Students at FADCreationS have climbed right onto that bandwagon and every Tuesday they post their Afrikaans covers or even original music to join in the DinsdagDeuntjie fun!



What is even better, is that the online phenomenon has now grown to a once monthly LIVE musical #TydOmTeSkyn event! Once a month on a Friday, Clarice invites a handful of DinsdagDeuntjie online participants to a live evening of music and showcasing of talent! These #TydOmTeSkyn events are hosted by the ProMusica (@ProSound_Studio) venue in the Hillfox Centre (Unit 39 right on the end) on Hendrik Porgieter Road, Weltevreden Park. 

It's such a fun event to attend (only R60 per person!) and we always have plenty of fellow FADlings supporting and attending the live event. *(There is really yummy coffee and snacks available as well, mmmmm!) Each live event enjoys the BEST sound & lighting services and equipment provided by ProSound Studios and their team of technicians.They really are cool, check out their website at this link.

And now they have even begun LIVE streaming the monthly events on a new app, download the ProSound Studio Radio App on iStore to listen in next time!!




















We were so proud to see three of our FADCreationS Mentorship Students debuting on the DinsdagDeuntjie stage at the recent TydOmTeSkyn #3 event and we're grateful to the entire DinsdagDeuntjie team who make it possible for them to perform live and showcase their talent on this platform, AND that alongside the likes of incredibly talented and popular Afrikaans musicians Joshua Na Die Reen.

Check out Kristen Raath Artist, Savannah Georgia Artist and Liila (only 12 years old!) and their Facebook links (click on their names) to follow their exciting young careers and new developments.

I really hope that you'll come and join us at the next live event or even post your very own rendition of a #DinsdagDeuntjie this week!

Komaan!!! Gaan groot en sing saam hierdie Dinsdag!!
