Musical Mondays- AKA and Da L.E.S

We keeping this weeks Musical Monday instalment local “coz local is lekker” lol

As you must be aware by now, Courteney is a dancer dancing for Out Of Africa Dance Academy. Fusion X is a dance crew formed at the Academy. They have been very blessed to get asked to dance back up for any performances they have on this morning news and lifestyle show called Expresso. They were asked to perform with two of SA’s biggest hip hop artists AKA and Da L.E.S on the show this morning.

Early morning wake up call had me taking Courteney off to the set, we left home and got the the studio at 6am, now that’s early for Monday morning.

AKA and Da L.E.S were on the couch in the green room. We greeted politely, as we were the first of the dancers to arrive . Everyone came shortly afterwards the dancers warmed up and were ready to take center stage.

They performed their new track called Kontrol (this tune just makes you want to groove) and got the Rappers doing some dance moves too, that was fun and even crazier to watch live. I was busy behind the scenes taking pictures and recording the performance I love being in that atmosphere, it’s such a great opportunity for these dancers as well. Everyone was hyped after the performance taking pictures and having a good laugh.
