Reini Adelbert

Lawyer and corporate veteran, Reini has lived in South Africa since childhood. The ingredients of his songs range between European roots and a deep love of Africa. His music roughly fits the blues/country/easy rock & light jazz genres. Tongue-in-cheek commentary, environmental issues and a quest for fairness define his minimalistic lyrics…

We are all rich and poor, black and white.
Prisoner, set us free - you are who we might be.
He keeps his options open like a can of gasoline.
They don’t belong to anyone; they are perfect on their own.

Songs from his album, ‘Leave Your Light On’ (2012) still enjoy regular radio airtime. ‘Memories of Rain’ was released in 2018 and he has recently completed two new collections, ‘Uitlander’ and ‘Londolozi’.
