Woord van Musikale regisseur: Frazer Barry “Die afgelope paar jaar het ek die voorreg gehad om met van ons land se talentvolste liedjieskrywers te werk. Ek het opnuut besef hoe belangrik dit is om as kunstenaars, mekaar op te bou om saam te groei. Hierdie wonderlike projek is moontlik gemaak deur die Jakes Gerwel Stigting en Suidoosterfees. Die kwaai ding is, dat die kunstenaars hul ding tydens die Suidoosterfees gaan doen in twee musiek produksies. Die twee produksies word deur Tribal Echo (Frazer (Kitaar) en Deniel Barry (Tromme) en Earl Zane Witbooi (Baskitaar) en Charlton R Davids (Keys) ondersteun.
