OpenCafé

Even though the cafe seems more quiet - we are always working on things - and we will post developments as soon as there is news.

The great news is - recently Thabo contacted us - he asked for some support to help market his group, the Heralds. They are a group of singers from Potchefstroom - we will soon be posting more info about them as soon as their online material is ready.

We are helping them weekly with creating online presence, website, and other online tools like working with Myspace and Facebook, Last.fm, Flickr, Twitter and other sites to create an online community around their music.

You can already visit their new Myspace page to listen to some of their songs at :

We will keep you posted about their progress.
