Few could have predicted the fizzling enthusiasm with which the South African public have embraced industrial psychology student-turned-singer-songwriter Theuns Jordaan after his first appearance on local radio back in 2001. He's been a household name from the get-go, thanks to his emphatic rendition of Gert Vlok Nel’s “Beautiful In Beaufort-Wes”. Several other tracks from his acclaimed debut album, Vreemde Stad, are also worth turning your speakers up for—including “Skipskop”, “Sonvanger” and “Skielik Is Jy Vry”.
