NEW ALBUM 'CALLING UP SOWETO'
On the 28th of februari 2009 Sioen releases his 4th full album: 'Calling Up Soweto'. On invitation of 'One Day For Another World' (Oxfam) Sioen went to the township Soweto in South Africa to set up collaboration with local musicians. He met living legend Pops and Khaya Mahlangu, and together with Stella Khumalo he organised an audition in the heart of Soweto to select 4 backing vocalists with an amazing voice. Sioen brought the musicians to Belgium during the Gentse Feesten 2008 and the energetic and melodic new songs made the concert (july 2008) a great success and 'talk of the town'. Newspaper 'De Standaard' wrote: "We always sympathise with someone who plays a whole new repertoire in front of an audience. And Sioen succeeded with brilliance!" Pushed by the enthusiasm of the fans after the concert, Sioen went back to South Africa to record the album 'Calling Up Soweto'.
