Currently on a nationwide tour, she is one of South Africa\u2019s most exciting new voices. Aya describes her style as Afrikaans nostalgic sadcore &#8211; a rich blend of alt-pop, rock and dreamy synth.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bHer music is exciting as it is beautiful; her bold, dynamic shows are emotionally charged, making you want to dance while tugging at the heartstrings. As part of her &#8220;Lente Virewig&#8221; tour, she will be joined by music maestro Brendon Bezuidenhout on guitar. The performance will feature a mix of her Afrikaans originals as well as some of her favourite English songs. From playful ballads to soulful, introspective moments, Aya\u2019s set promises a storytelling journey through sound and feeling.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bJoin us this Sunday evening in Hogsback for an intimate performance, great food, cozy fires, and a little bit of magic in\u00a0the\u00a0mountains.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"843\">\n<p data-start=\"311\" data-end=\"396\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aya Nixon \u2013 music that moves between dreams and dance \u200bWe\u2019re excited to welcome Aya Nixon to RedClay Caf\u00e8!
