Tony Cox - My African Heart

Guitarist and composer Tony Cox is not only a celebrated star in his homeland, South Africa. In Europe as well, he has managed to play his way to a fan community and earn a reputation as an excellent musical ambassador for the African continent.

With his new album at Acoustic Music Records, "My African Heart", Cox, who has won the South African Music award several times, reveals his understanding of world music: On these twelve tracks, this master of the guitar, together with a number of guest musicians, reveals his very personal and incomparable musical and formal expression through a performance filled with African joie de vivre, rhythmic pyrotechnics and a percussive, yet pleasantly relaxed fingerstyle guitar. Tony Cox, a white African from Kapstadt, released an outstanding album here with a great deal of charisma. It combines the exotic magic of Africa with American and European technique.
