]]> April Samuel Ramufhi (72) is one of many artists who, many years ago, recorded one or two tracks with the old Radio Venda in Polokwane for airplay. The problem with the whole process was that an artist was merely given a single copy of the single or two tracks to play for family and friends. “I couldn’t even earn money from my work,” recalls Ramufhi.

He says that he recorded about 35 songs through the decades at Radio Venda. His contemporaries were Solomon Mposa and Albert Mundalamo. “The positive side of things is that, even today, the now Phala Phala FM still plays the golden songs which we created many years ago,” he says.

Ramufhi’s first album, Tshanda tshi a levha, which came out a fortnight ago, comprises 13 songs. Eight songs are remakes of his old, classical songs such as Bombompani, Nyamuladelo and Kondelelani, while the other five tracks are completely new.
