Mi Casa is a live dance trio bringing together deep soulful vocals, horns and keys that have dominated the charts in South Africa and Africa since 2010, release today a new album ‘WE MADE IT’, as well as the second single, ‘Eve’.
The band that performed at US President Barack Obama’s Inauguration, is one of South Africa’s most exciting and consistent success stories. Five-time South African Music Awards (SAMA) winners including “Best Duo Group”, “Best Dance Group” and the coveted “Record of the year”.
Sold out concerts in London, Rome, Portugal, Canada, Johannesburg and 23 other African countries. A total of 8 number one singles which included multi-platinum smash hit “Jika” and “Don’t Wanna Be Your Friend”
The 3rd July sees the official release of the album, as well as the second single, ‘Eve’, a deeper, socio-political look at the dark place we find ourselves in as mankind. With a definite African angle to the lyrics, the sadness of the track is visceral and although perhaps not destined for dancefloor dominance without a remix, the sheer vocal mastery by J’Something, Mo’s melancholy pull of the trumpet and the slowed-down beat takes the listener on a journey of awareness. In short, it’s pure fire.
‘Eve’ follows the success of the first single ‘Church Bells’. Released alongside a powerful video of a space-inspired traditional African wedding, the single immediately topped SA’s most-played charts and firmly reminded audiences Mi Casa is leaders in their arena.
Ten years, countless awards and 5 albums later, the group has signed an international record deal with Afroforce1 Records and Universal Music Group, making them a priority act for their region. The brand-new album We Made It is a testament to a decade of raw pushing that saw this self-made success story emerge once again on top.
The band plans to support it with an exciting virtual tour and a host of other awesome digital content, until such time as they can perform live.
