Singer Ruhan du Toit has released a new single, Bring Die Reën, a song that focuses on drought, faith and the hope that farmers and their families rely on while waiting for rain.
Fanie Nel of the Coleske Group says this powerful single is much more than just a song. It is a prayer for rain in a
drought-stricken South Africa and a musical reflection of the hope and faith with which farmers carry on every day.
Du Toit says the title reflects the core message of the song, which was written by Georic Lomas and Marco van Deventer. "We pray for rain and our farmers pray for rain."
The song focuses not only on drought, but also on the challenges that farmers and their families experience. According to Du Toit, the farmer's wife plays an important role when a family must handle difficult circumstances. The music video tells the story of a farmer and his wife who hold fast to their faith in the midst of drought and uncertainty. Actors Hanna Grobler and Frank Rautenbach, who were recently seen in the kykNET drama series Better Than Yesterday play the lead roles in the video.
In the video, the weather eventually changes and it begins to rain – an image of hope for farmers waiting for relief from drought. With Bring Die Reën Du Toit wants to convey a message of faith and perseverance to farmers and everyone going through difficult times with them.
