Young talented musician trio of Dre, Filly-zo and Choice, known as Young Kasi, are launching their much anticipated debut album titled Discount at the Ekamuti Town Lounge in Ondangwa tonight.
“After all the journey of hard works, we finally put on the table our first project, the 18-track studio album. Fans and music lovers will finally taste the good music of our first album during the launch,” says spokesperson Filly-zo. He adds that various artists and dancers are gracing the launch. NSK from Energy 100FM is mcing the event. Filly-zo says they titled album Discount to describe their journey. “This basically means if you want a quality product, don’t buy it on discount. We had to sacrifice all we had to make this project a reality and its already paying off as people ordered more than 150 CDs in advance,” he says.
Songs such as Ndanisa, meaning dance in English, is a party song that can make one want to dance to it with no fear. The video of the song will be shot earlier next September. Another song on the album, 2nase, means one must be original and not fake. “This project took us a year and half to complete. It was not that easy since we did not have any sponsorship. But finally we have done it and the album really worth every minutes of waiting,” says Filly-zo.
The album is mixture of genres such as Soukus, Kwaito, Hip-Hop, Damara Punch and Gospel House, with Afro Pop dominating. Artists such as Flame, Bhukaid, Dingalo, Buju Katjoko, Deco and Dorkas feature on the album.
Normal tickets for the release show are N$30 and N$200 for VIPs, including a CD and a T-shirt of Young Kasi. Doors open at seven O’clock (19h00) in the evening.
