Our mayor has called it his new favourite song that gives him goosebumps. It's a new track by a Cape Town entertainment veteran with a slick music video that anyone with doubts about visiting here needs to see. And Gasant Abarder writes that, after giving it just one listen, it should be playing on all our radio stations. It's called The Cape Town Song' - A Musical Love Letter to the Mother City' and it is recommended listening for anyone sitting in traffic and battling this winter funk.
We all know that Cape Town is the playground of many, but also a tough place to live and work for many others. We know the score: we're often told the Joburgers are paid better, and our cost of living is much higher.
For thousands of Capetonians, a journey to work and back can be a four-hour commute on the daily, and they're usually the residents who bear the brunt of the Cape of Storms we've experienced recently. Add on top of these woes, there are these bugs that have been going around making us sick and which eerily remind us of the not-too-distant Covid onslaught days. We need this song now more than ever.
On this vibrant track, Fagrie Isaacs has managed to bring the two worlds of Cape Town together in a way that celebrates our fair city, warts and all.
At the launch last week and watching the music video for the first time, Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis posted on Facebook: ' Congratulations to Fagrie Isaacs for this incredible new Cape Town anthem. I love it!'
