The inimitable, always-entertaining, highly-versatile and often-outspoken Steve Hofmeyr is on his way to Carnival City on December 6, to promote his newest album, Toeka 3.<\/p>\n
The artist, who recently celebrated 25 years in music, has just released the long-awaited third album in the successful Toeka series, reinforcing his place as one of the hardest working, critically and commercially-acclaimed South African artists.<\/p>
\u201cSteve Hofmeyr has a massive following in our region and we are delighted to give his fans the chance to see him perform live on our stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will be treated to fresh new material from his latest album.<\/p>
\u201cIt is going to be a fantastic show,\u201d said Jaco Saaiman, the entertainment manager at Carnival City.<\/p>\n
Hofmeyr has always been an advocate of paying tribute to great legends from the past (and present), which is what initially led to his multi-platinum award-winning Toeka-series.<\/p>\n
The latest release, which he brings to life at Carnival City this festive season, is poised to continue this success story.<\/p>\n
Since 2003\u2019s first collection and 2004\u2019s Toeka 2 CD and DVD release, Hofmeyr has painstakingly worked on creating the song list for the album, based on requests from his fans.<\/p>\n
The album features 17 re-polished gems, each loaded with pure nostalgia, along with two more brand-new originals to complement Toeka\u2019s tried-and-tested formula.<\/p>\n
Hofmeyr has put his unique stamp and sound on a list of legendary hits by the likes of Fanie de Jager (Ek Kyk Do Diep In Jou O\u00eb), Cindy Alter (Substitute) and Herbie and Spence (My Enigste Een).<\/p>\n
Hofmeyr\u2019s versatility shines through with each track, from the animated and fun (Hak Hom Blokkies), the controversial (Die Stem), and blissful originality in between.<\/p>\n
The first single released, \u201cSit die ligte aan\u201d, has charted nationally, entering at number one on various stations.<\/p>\n
The show starts at 5pm.<\/p>\n
