Day By Day

Day By Day is girl-group in the true sense. It did not start like most girl-bands, with a TV show and a record company behind it; with scores of auditions. It just started at a playground, where Nongoma (15), Thembi (11) and Nandi (9) Ndlovu began together with Valentina De Micheli (15) and other girls from the neighbourhood to sing and dance.

The real turning point actually took place back in Summer 2000, when the girls were involved in a Warner Music production of a Hip-Hop group called Doppelgänger where they sang in a children's choir. It was not long after that, that the girls started their own band: Day By Day!

What is so special about Day By Day is that the kids do not just imitate what they hear radio or see on TV. The lyrics and compositions result from their own fantasy and the impression reflects such real-life experience of a child. Their songs talk about their day to day experience, at school and in the playground... expressing wishes and hopes of a better world from a child's point of view.

Their first concert was on 17.06.01 commemorating “The day of the African Child” in Dynamo Zurich, a concert organised by the South African Embassy and AAB (former Anti-Apartheid Movement of Switzerland. The audience raved and the Children won their hearts.

Day By Day are doing the final touch ups of their forth-coming CD which they have been recording at Tonquelle Recording Studios, Zurich. The CD in produced by Themba Ndlovu, the father of three of the girls.

We play sometimes live, and sometimes we use cd playback.
