weaving magic

One of the most rewarding parts of working on this exciting initiative is to have the assumption constantly reaffirmed that Cape Town has more than the talent needed to make… no create… a brilliant and very unique Cape Town Carnival! There is no way that the analogy of or a comparison can be made to something like the Rio Carnival. For one we are distinctly different (no one samba played over and over here!) simply in culture… but more importantly… we are diverse and complex! If we can marry all these genres together, we going to see a rich tapestry created… and I suspect that these kind of engagements will reinforce the histories and help forge newness and uniqueness that Africa is just so bloody good at!
