Brothers With Voices
Brothers With Voices Cape Town is a very talented and determined vocal ensemble of 9 young men from Imizamo Yethu, Mandela Park, Hout Bay.
They sing their own original material and popular South African songs which they have adapted to their traditional style of 'Isicathamiya'. The energetic group was founded in 2001 out of a deep passion for music and an intense need to reflect their experiences of growing up, living and surviving in a township in the ‘new’ South Africa . The dedicated singers have continued to make a name for themselves despite the immense obstacles they are constantly faced with due to their socio-economic background.
In winter 2007 the group was discovered by South Africa's Indie Pop Idol Ike Moriz who fell in love with their heart warming and moving songs of struggle, hope and love. He has since worked closely with these aspiring vocal acrobats and is introducing them to a wider audience on a quest of fulfilling their dream of opening the world's hearts to their beautiful music.
BWV has since recorded their very first album, produced by Ike Moriz, called “Peace Dream". The title track is a Xhosa remix of Ike’s song off his “All Around The World” album!
