[music |Hamba Kahle, Dollar Brand]

The POW Ensemble is preparing for a visit to Cape Town and Stellenbosch between 9-16 March. We will perform at the 2nd Unyazi Festival for Electronic Music . In the same week we will do some research work at the Center for Popular Memory for a future project.

The line up will be:
Han Buhrs - voice, electronics
Luc Houtkamp - saxophone, computer
Guy Harries - voice, computer
DNA - turntables
Micha de Kanter - sound engineeer

Our research will be focused at District Six, a multi cultural neighborhood that was dismantled just before Apartheid disappeared.

Looking for queer life in the area I found some pages on Gayle, the SA version of the gay language Polari.
