Fixed Rates & Chartered Souls - The Day of the Rabblement
5-piece band The Day of the Rabblement playing their amazing, folk and acoustic style original song - Fixed Rates & Chartered Souls (7/8) (featuring the tune 'Sassakia' by Ross Couper) recorded live at the Wine Vaults, Southsea.The band plays soft but fun and exciting tune arrangements that aim to get people up and moving! This particular song includes all types of guitars and a violin as well as beautiful vocals to give off a folksy vibe. The Day of the Rabblement are amazing at acoustics in every song they create and release.
Kéba - Chany
R&B artist Chany has brought an afro flavor, with a twist by including his African dialect, originally from Congo called Lingala, with a mixture of English included. He creates this love song called Kéba, which means to be careful in Congo dialect but referring to the 'lover' in his song to be careful with his heart.Chany was first established by the UK rap underground scene featuring on 'Hooks',by adding his vocals on records, which really took people by surprise by his smooth soulful vocals. One of Chany's biggest achievement was performing along side Boy George at the Dorchester Hotel for the Amy Winehouse Ball.
