In Breyani, David Kramer celebrates the rhythm, instrumentation, vocal styling and language, to create music that is unmistakably and uniquely from the Cape.
Originally commissioned by the Suidoosterfees in 2009 and was then called Kaapse Breyani, this was performed at the KKNK in Oudtshoorn this year, where David received a Kanna award for Exceptional Contribution to a Contemporary Music Production.
The 10-piece band includes Camillo Lombard on piano accordion, Gammie Lakay on acoustic lead guitar, Donveno Prins - who wowed audiences in The Kramer Petersen Songbook and 3 Wiser Men – on saxophone and Jacques Steyn - former member of DNA Strings - plays mandolin and bass.
Veterans of klopse bands, Howard Links and Charlie Rhode play banjo, mandolin, and guitar, taking the moppie, the vastrap, the ghoemaliedjie and the tiekiedraai to new heights. From the stages of musical theatre and Malay Choir competitions, Loukmaan Adams sings and beats the ghoema drum.
The much loved Sonskyn Sisters, Ruth Hector and Elspeth Davids sing their hearts out with a combination of cherished Cape standards and folk songs, as well as material written especially for this production. David Kramer plays MC and drops in a song here and there!
"Kramer is brilliant at making points about this country without confronting his audience" Pretoria News
