Die Country Music Association het Van der Sandt en Bok Radio benoem vir \u2018n CMA-toekenning in die kategorie vir beste internasionale country-uitsaaier. Di\u00e9 gesogte CMA-toekenning erken die bydrae van \u2019n radio-uitsaaier om countrymusiek buite die grense van die VSA te bevorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is die eerste keer dat Suid-Afrika di\u00e9 eer ontvang en volg na die ongelooflike sukses met die Amerikaanse country-musiekster Kip Moore se Suid-Afrikaanse optredes in Kaapstad en Pretoria vanjaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die konserte, waarvan die eerste se kaartjies binne 40-minute uitverkoop is, is deur Bok Radio en die Heroes-restaurant georganiseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van der Sandt en Bok Radio ding in dieselfde kategorie mee teen BBC Radio Scotland in die Verenigde Koninkryk, KIX Country in Australia, Star FM in Duitsland en Go Country in Swede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moore is ook benoem vir \u2018n toekenning en sal in die kategorie vir beste internasionale kunstenaarsprestasie teen Luke Combs en Morgan Wallen meeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van der Sandt het aan TygerBurger <\/em>ges\u00ea die nominasie voel vir hom nog baie onwerklik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDis \u2019n groot eer vir my persoonlik en vir Bok Radio om die erkenning te kry. Dit sal kriedietwaardigheid bring aan wat ons in Suid-Afrika se musieklandskap doen \u00ad-\u00ad iets wat ek voel ons nie altyd genoegsame erkenning voor kry in Suid-Afrika self nie. Hopelik kan ons Suid-Afrika trots maak en die CMA huis toe bring,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Van der Sandt s\u00ea countrymusiek vind baie aanklank by Suid-Afrikaanse mense j\u00fa\u00eds omdat dit stories vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns is storievertellers en ons hou van stories. Met 28 jaar in die radiow\u00eareld het ek altyd geweet daar is \u2019n groot mark vir country en Kip Moore se musiek het met my gepraat. Hy is definitief een van my top3-gunstelinge. Vandat ek die eerste keer een van sy liedjies gehoor het, het ek geweet ek moet hom Suid-Afrika toe bring. Dis nie net countrymusiek met mooi lirieke nie; sy musiek het \u2019n ritmiese rock-aanslag waarvan baie Suid-Afrikaners hou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maar dit was \u2019n lang pad, en hy het soms die wind van voor gekry om sy doelwit te bereik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSukses gebeur nie oornag nie. Ek moes my huiswerk deeglik doen en het Nashville in die VSA verskeie kere besoek om navorsing oor die genre te doen. Dit was moeilik om die Amerikaners te oortuig dat daar \u2019n countrymark in Suid-Afrika is. Ek moes aan baie deure klop en dit was eers na my vierde besoek aan Nashville dat die deure begin oopgaan het,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die projek was ge\u00efnspireer deur sy eie wens vir \u2019n bietjie vrede, s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlmal wil nie heeldag met die w\u00eareld baklei, of oorlog keer of oorlog maak nie. Partykeer wil jy net na \u2019n mooi liedjie luister, met mooi lirieke en \u2019n lekker ritme. Ek was moeg vir soetsappige liefdesliedjies van meisies in rokkies. Dit het net vir my sin gemaak \u00ad- lekker stories, lekker songs<\/em> en lekker musiek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Van der Sandt werk tans aan \u2018n internasionale countryfees, wat volgende jaar in Kaapstad plaasvind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Country Music Association het Van der Sandt en Bok Radio benoem vir \u2018n CMA-toekenning in die kategorie vir beste
