  • Cape Malay Minstrels Biography
    CAPE MALAY MINSTRELS The Cape Malay Minstrels (“Kaapse Klopse”), synonymnous for their vibrant music, painted faces and rainbow- coloured satin costumes, have been parading down the streets of central Cape Town for almost 300 years. The traditional folk music played by the Cape Minstrels was developed in the mid 1800’s, when many of the Cape Colony slaves emanicipated from slavery, joined roaming Hottentot bands to earn a living. Today the minstrels represent a celebration of history, symbolic of the various ethnic groups coming together in the cultural melting pot known as Cape Town. Musicians, dancers and singers of all ages form part of this unique group, cheerfully reflectling the festive and colourful nature of the South African people with their banjo’s, drums and tambourines. The perfect Capetonian welcome for tour groups and festivities, our Minstrel groups and troups are seasoned performers and a favourite choise amongst tour companies and event organisers in Cape Town.

  • Choreographing Cape Town Through Goema Music and Dance
    CHOREOGRAPHING CAPE TOWN THROUGH GOEMA MUSIC AND DANCE by FRANCESCA INGLESE Each January, members of Cape Town’s sixty-plus minstrel troupes take over the city center with a sweeping wave of sound and color in the annual Minstrel Carnival.1 Known as Tweede Nuwe Jaar (the Second of New Year) — and more controversially as the “Coon Carnival” — the Minstrel Carnival’s origins are oft en linked with the December 1st emancipation processions of the mid-to-late 1800s that celebrated the abolition of slavery in 1834 and also to the annual slave holiday, the one day a year slaves could take off work. Th e parading of troupes, called Kaapse Klopse (Clubs of the Cape) in Afrikaans, on Carnival is also the culmination of a week of celebrations that begins on Christmas Eve with the parading of Christmas Choirs (brass bands) and is followed by the Malay Choir or Nagtroepe (night troupes) parade on New Year’s Eve (Bruinders 2006-7: 109). Together, these multiple practices announce the New Year in Cape Town.2 On the day of Carnival, klopse, that once gathered outside their homes in the bustling streets of District Six and the Bo-Kaap, travel to the city center from their klopskamers (clubhouses) in the dispersed townships on the Cape Flats and suburban areas beyond Cape Town’s City Bowl. Together they traverse the downtown, beginning from the edge of District Six, from which many troupe members and their parents and grandparents were forcibly removed under apartheid’s Group Areas Act (1950). From 2012–2014, I paraded with Th e Fabulous Woodstock Starlites, a forty year old troupe located in Woodstock, one of the older suburbs close to town.

The related technology will be more advanced, in particular providing greater connectivity globally to local. At that time there will be new ways in which to represent geospatial information and how this geospatial information relates to and value-adds to other information. There will be new ways in which humans interact with and use cartography and geospatial information. In 2023 we will be ready to discuss and see in practice the new cartography and geospatial information science and management. The topic of ‘smart cartography’ will be ripe for discussion and debate.

  • “It Is Us” an Exploration of “Race” and Place in the Cape Town Minstrel Carnival Nadia Davids
    “It is us” An Exploration of “Race” and Place in the Cape Town Minstrel Carnival Nadia Davids Performing Presence Between Christmas and New Year’s Day the streets of Cape Town are filled with the music and movement of the Cape Town Minstrel Carnival. It is a weeklong season of performance and celebration, the culmination of a year spent rehearsing songs, choreographing dances, and planning costumes in the klopse kamers1 scattered throughout the outlying Cape Flats. The Carnival’s identity is entangled with the spatial and historical dimensions of urban Cape Town, and it performs again and again the city’s past dislocations and its geographies of loss. If the parameters of the city are determined by the extraordinary beauty of its mountain ranges and coastline, then its center, a bricolage of colonial buildings and statues, occasional skyscrapers, boutique shops, restaurants, street vendors, flower sellers, new and old immigrant communities, 1. Klopse kamers (club rooms) are the headquarters or rehearsal rooms for minstrel troupes (see Martin 1999).

Its old segregations, its calculated long divisions, its his- torical conflation of “race” and manual labor, and its ability to remain at once “a culturally diverse and divided city” (Field, Meyer, and Swanson 2007:5) all collude to ensure that Black Capetonians’ struggle for visibility, for presence in the city, remains a central one.
