The Overberg puts on a feast of top-notch local Afrikaans talent in music, art, poetry, comedy and drama at the annual Kalfiefees this August. Showcasing an art route of 22 galleries, one of the highlights is an exhibition of work from emerging talents out of Zwelihle township. On the music scene there's a great line up ranging from the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra to 'Van Boereseun tot Brel' where you can listen to stories set to the strains of the trekklavier. Writer Riana Scheepers says: “Met virtuose klavier- en trekklavierspel en Rademan se warm Overbergse heuningstem, sal hierdie gedugte musiekpaar weer die lied en die poësie in kontemporêre Afrikaanse musiek terugbring. Rademan laat jou verlang na mosbeskuit en kluitjies en dan neem hy jou Parys toe om na Brel te luister.” Just like she says, you'll be yearning for mosbeskuit and kluitjies.
Don't forget your party shoes for the Groot Saterdagaand-Jol after some good laughs at De Wetsaal (Stoepstories). You can langarm the night away to the best boeremusiek South Africa has to offer.
