CUE the goema drums and turn the speakers up - Cape Town has a brand new soundtrack, and it's echoing with love, rhythm, and local pride.

Singer and hometown favourite Fagrie Isaacs has just released his latest track, The Cape Town Song - A Musical Love Letter to the Mother City, and it's already being hailed as the Mother City's new anthem.

Even Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has thrown his support behind it, praising it as a tribute that captures the city's heart and soul.

“I’ve always had a love for my city like no other,” Isaacs said. “I've travelled the world, but there’s no place like Cape Town.”

What began as a simple request to create a podcast jingle for Cape Flats Stories, a community-focused platform led by author Stanley Jacobs, soon turned into something much more profound.
