Sometimes, after a long and stressful week at work, you simply feel like letting your hair down and go dancing with your friends.
That’s exactly what VELLIES OP DIE DANSVLOER, the musician and songwriter Christiaan Baartman’s brand-new Afrikaans pop single, is all about.
This upbeat creation, from his own pen and studio (with final production by Joshua Oosthuizen), is a carefree song that will make listeners’ feet itch to get on the dance floor.
“At some stage, we have all been in the mood for a fun Friday night out and ended up at a dance club with our friends,” explains Baartman. “Vellies are, of course, my favourite shoes for such an occasion because they glide smoothly over the dance floor.”
VELLIES OP DIE DANSVLOER is the sixteenth single by this gifted artist, who recently had the opportunity to share a stage with Keith Urban’s band at Tootsies in Nashville, in four years and follows in the footsteps of his latest release, Liewe Lawwe Lettie. The artist is grateful for the positive way local audiences have received his music and feels privileged to be able to pursue his passion.
Therefore, it’s not surprising that when he’s not studying, he spends as much time as possible in studio and on stage.
In addition to another Afrikaans single and an exciting new duet, he and Pedro Barbosa are also working hard on an English country track that he hopes to release in Nashville.
Christiaan has been active in the music industry for almost two decades and released his first album in 2008. Over the years, he has achieved many milestones, including various music awards, a children’s album with Leon Jonkman; reaching the final round on Idols SA in 2006; opening for Smokie in 2012; a performance at Huisgenoot Skouspel in 2007, and many more.
VELLIES OP DIE DANSVLOER is a light-hearted song that invites you to sing along and set the dance floor on fire.
“It’s a catchy song, and it is definitely going to feature on the dance floor and at weddings for a long time. That’s a promise,” he concludes.
