SOLMS-DELTA'S MUSIC VAN DE CAAB PROJECT - OVERVIEW AUG 2010
Select Category:
Video Description: A Rural Cape Music Project
It was in the hope of creating a more inclusive sense of Winelands community with wider access to resources and opportunities for all who live in it, that in 2007 the Delta Trust initiated a Cape music project in the rural Boland region with the help of local musician Alex van Heerden. Fieldwork consisting of interviews with musicians in the surrounding region and more formal academic research into the origins of traditional Cape music was initiated with the aim of using this information to establish a Cape Rural Music Centre on Solms-Delta. The music Centre will showcase the work of the farm’s Cape music project: Music van de Caab and will exhibit the research by Alex van Heerden, who passed away last year and was employed at the farm to research and promote the vernacular music of the Winelands and its origins.
