Apologies, I fell off the edge of Cape Town for a few months there. This city is gorgeous, but can be quite overwhelming, with the loss of my equipment, moving house (again) and school exams, the past few months have been insane!
A few rearrangements later, I am back in action with a new camera, meeting new people, cooking up now projects and exploration things. Lets just say we're in for a ride.
In any case, welcome back =)
This is what I look like right now. I know I'm not smiling in the photo but I'm ECSTATIC inside =D
(If you see me floating around Cape Town, please, lets chat =) Say Hi. Tell me about your favourite spots. Your favourite people. Your favourite food. Everythaaaaaaang =) And smile for a photo maybe? Might start seeing some familiar faces on here =)
SO, drumroll please,
The Cape Town World Music Festival!! The event was a two day musical bonanza held at the Cape Town City Hall, which is fast becoming one of my favourite venues in Cape Town.
I think I'd rather get into a discussion about what 'World Music' is another day, I'm too excited to show you snaps to wait =)
I caught Ras Haitrm, a Mozambican reggae musician who combines reggae, light rock and afro-beat elements to create a fusion fit for moving and grooving.
I went outside for a breather after all that skanking and walked right into these guys, the Asociacion Triangulacion Kultural Uraguay banging up a storm.
I managed to squeeze kind of close enough to steal a few shots of Madala Kunene, an otherworldly dance of voice and gorgeously transcendental afro guitar melodies. I want to stalk his music foreverrr.
We were also treated to the soulful sounds of Beatenberg.
Not only were there audio treats, visual treats were all over the place, as well as tasty food; this was the real deal.
DJ Mighty tore it up on the Electro Stage with a festive blend of latin beats, afro bass, soulful jazz samples and everything in between
DJ Clock picked up where Mighty left off, followed by DJ Danger Ingozi.
Inside, Mynabirds Solo was funking things up.
The star of the night was no doubt Thandiswa Mzwai.
Way too much amazing for one night!
