In Breyani, David Kramer celebrates rhythm,
instrumentation, vocal styling and language, to create music that is
unmistakably and uniquely from the Cape.
Earlier this year, the original version of David Kramer's Breyani was
performed at the KKNK in Oudtshoorn, where David received a Kanna award
for Exceptional Contribution to a Contemporary Music Production. It had
originally been commissioned by the Suidoosterfees in 2009 and was then
called Kaapse Breyani. A ten-piece band includes Camillo Lombard on piano
accordian and Gammie Lakay on acoustic lead guitar.

Don-veno Prins, who wowed audiences in The Kramer Petersen
Songbook and 3 Wiser Men, plays saxophone. Former member of DNA Strings
Jacques Steyn 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.
