vanyrhynsdorp

In September 2010 I accompanied German-South African artist Manfred Zylla on a trip to the small town of Vanrhynsdorp, its in the north west of the Western Cape on the way to Springbok.
Manfred wanted to visit a musician he had met some time ago, his name is Jacobus Cloete, he plays the traditional rural cape music. he uses a hand made bow and plays the guitar. The expirience was a musical exchange of sorts. Manfred was the student visiting to learn this particular music style. In turn he brought his expiremental jazz to Vanrhynsdorp. I filmed all of this and am currently editing. I will post some clips before I have completly edited the whole film. This is proving to be a challenge as I have never actually edited anything before and am learning on the job.

More postings to come!
