Hot Water sign with European touring agent
Hot Water has recently returned from a very successful tour to Europe performing at the prestigious Hague Jazz Festival, alongside the likes of Freshlyground and Hugh Masekela - the two other SA representatives on the festival's line-up.
They will be playing on Saturday, 5 December 2009 at Zula Bar on Long Street, Cape Town. The band was recently heralded as “the next Johnny Clegg”, in a recently published article in the Sunday Independent.
Hot Water's music is a fusion of elements of folk, blues, rock, world and South African genres and is largely driven by rhythm, largely African and blues beats, and clever lyrics full of heart.
Hot Water is a sensation wherever they go and their music appeals to all ages and races.
Earlier in the year, inspiration found Donovan collaborating with South African Comedian of the Year 2008, Nik Rabinowitz, on the cross-over song ‘Laduma' - Hot Water's 2010 football offering. An uplifting and authentic anthem of unity, the song is currently play-listed on national radio in the Netherlands and discussions are under way for release in South Africa.
Hot water was signed by European touring agent Griot - the premiere South African Music agent in Europe - who exclusively represents South African greats such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Hugh Masekela, Freshlyground, Lira and now Hot Water.
