Van Tee Tonder

If the groove  was  an  academic  pursuit, then  Van-Tee  Tonder  would  be  its  leading theoretical  scholar. Yes, the Nkowankowa, Zone  8  native  is  a  relative  novice  to  the dance  music  industry it  is  no  doubt  that  his  presence  will  be  felt  swiftly. It is  no  exaggeration  to  suggest  that  South  Africa  is  a  nation  under  a  groove, a republic  with  a  strict  adherence  to  the  rhythmic. While the  gqom  genre  emanates from Kwa-Mashu/  Umlazi,  music  is  not  limited  by provincial  boundaries, as illustrated  by  Van  Tee’s  banger,  Phezu  Kwe  Bonnet  featuring Asah  George  and Bobby  Grease  and  just  to  emphasize  on  that  Asah  is  from the  Eastern  Cape  &  Bobby from Natal. Nkowankowa in  Tzaneen, just  a  stone  throw  away  from King Monada’s  abode,  is like  many  townships  across  the  country an  aspirational  locale. Commonalities abound and  blackness  as  a  whole  always  strives  for  access  to  better opportunities  – and  Van  Tee  Tonder’s  music  video  is  testament  to  a  utopia  where  things  are  fully equal. As a  bonafide  banger that  is  guaranteed  to  set  dance  floors  alight  this  December and  beyond, it  is  no  wonder that  Van  Tee  is  quietly  making an  impact  on  the industry. The combination  of dance  thumping instrumentation, the  voice  of Asah George  and  Bobby  Grease’s  kwaito  era  swag,  we  can  safely  venture  that  there  isn’t a  house/  gqom track  as  captivating as  Phezu  Kwe  Bonnet  at  the  moment. Born Arthur  Andzani  Bvuma, the  37  year old  has  always  had  ambition  for  the spotlight  –  where  it  was  playing soccer, coaching  or  the  entertainment  industry. The entertainment  industry would  proof most  fruitful  for  the  Limpopo  bred musician. Van Tee  is  on  the  cusp  of musical  stardom with  a  sound  that  pays homage  to  the  groove  nation  that  is  South  Africa.The  video  is  currently  doing  very well  on  MTV BASE, it  even  debuted  number 8  on  MTV  Best  of  the  Week  Top  10 Charts  and  also  enjoying lots  of airplay  on  Channel  O  as  well.
