On the passing of Ta Blaqs

Image
This was originally written in November of 2022, only published November 2024.  Zami Mdingi, mentioned in the story, passed away in April of 2024.  On the morning of Tuesday the 1st of November 2022, I got a call from a number I didn’t recognise. It was Sheila Tempi.  Oh hey Sheila, howsit, where are you calling from on this new number? I’m at the Guguletu hospital she told me, distraught. Blacki has just passed away.  That morning Blacki was scheduled to be at the hospital, but not for himself. He was taking fellow musician Tete Mbambisa for surgery on his eyes. Instead, it was Blacki at Guguletu Hospital, after a heart attack at home.  Blacki and Sheila and I had been talking the day before, planning a Jazz dinner at their home for a group of 30 guests later in November. It would have been the biggest gig at their home since the Covid 19 pandemic had begun, and the beginning of a return to a consistent schedule of Jazz Safaris and Cuisine Safaris at Blacki and...

My video portfolio

Image
I studied film-making in 1994 at the Cape Town Film and TV School. I had a great time, and loved the film learning, but the school wasn't the right place for me.  In 1995 I started at UCT majoring in English and Drama, joined UCT Radio, did film courses and continued making films. My first project was with Akin Omotoso, assisting with his first film project together with Kurt Isaacs. Over the years I continued to make my own short films and radio programmes.  On this page visitors will find highlights from a wide selection of the inserts I've produced over the years. My skills include camera, sound, editing, directing, producing.   For the full portfolio please visit: https://www.youtube.com/user/mycapetown021/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/Coffeebeansroutes/videos https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLERmPgay_a4T2c22kNW0tCinlIo3N8AX4

Taxi Alibama. An audio movie

Image
Back in 2005 I was a producer on the Cape Africa Platform, a large-scale art event in Cape Town. I curated a festival of concerts across the breadth of the city, with a shuttle system connecting these events so that festival goers could move seamlessly between shows, and experience Cape Town in a totally new way.  The event never happened as the funding from the Lotto never arrived.  The event was scaled back dramatically to a beautiful once-off concert.  To commemorate the event that never happened, I created an audio movie that gave a sense of the journey we had envisaged. It was called Taxi Alibama, and it was a ride through Cape Town in a mini-bus, connecting different musics and artists and voices in the city. I rode taxis all over the city, and recorded ambient sound to be used as the context that connected the music. The tracks featured were all recorded by me in my work as a music producer. It is a collection of some of my favourite music ever. Enjoy the ride!
