Lyrics: You're gonna go crazy one of these days Your man treat you like a personal slave Made you mop the floor on a Saturday Wouldn't last a minute without you Work work, work your way Work your way to an early grave Swing swing, night and day Forget your mama told you and come out and play Get yourself up move your body in time Got to get to work, make a penny shine Boss tell you baby better stay on the line Shake your body you're mighty fine

Lyrics: You’ve been singing, dirty swinging all your way round town Baby, when’re you gonna come on down? Hear you holler all about a dollar, stacking up chips is the goal Hear you saying nothing’s in your way What about your soul? On your feet, parting the street They’re afraid they’re gonna bump into you Girl you got some brass making them moves Simmer down honey, it ain’t about the money You ought to know better than that You got something to prove, you got something to lose What about your soul? Your soul?

about

PRAVDA (“The Truth”) is an energetic, live electronic 'future jazz' outfit from Cape Town. In 2017, the band's original single 'Night & Day (ft Tamara Kesner)' was signed to Paris label Wagram Music (Caravan Palace) for compilation album 'Electroswing New Generation 01', curated by international DJ duo Bart & Baker. In 2018, the single was playlisted by Brighton-based label Freshly Squeezed Music and US label Soundrop. PRAVDA supported visiting Paris-based swing ensemble Dark Blue Orchestra on their 2015 South African tour.

With South African appearances at Rocking the Daisies, The J&B Met, Youngblood Art Gallery, Alliance Francaise du Cap, the band performs a modernized take on vintage swing jazz and ethnic folk music with a heavy emphasis on dance and improvisation. The band performs using sophisticated electronic music equipment in combination with classical instrumentation (violin, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, double bass, guitar, drum kit) to create a totally unique, feel-good live show.

PRAVDA’s sonic palette ranges from the dance-oriented sounds of Parov Stelar, Caravan Palace, Jamirouquai, Mr Scruff and St Germain to the vintage swing jazz and gospel of The Golden Gate Quartet and Louis Armstrong. African and Latin rhythms can be found in the compositions, which play out like a mixture of electro-jazz and world music sounds delivered with a notably original approach.

Ultimately, Pravda represents something we all feel deeply – a quest to find the people that matter. And to thank them – to thank you – for believing in something that matters. ... more
