📍South Africa 🇿🇦, Cape Town Episode 1: Celebrating Tweede Nuwe Jaar!🥳

Описание: This is your sign to book your vacation to Cape Town from December to January.

Tweede Nuwe Jaar (Second New Year) is the most amazing parade I have ever been to. A loud, proud and so incredibly beautiful celebration these days but rooted in a dark past built around slavery.

Being mixed race, I'm sure there are slaves in my ancestry. To see this celebration emerge out of such darkness is amazing.

Music from the Kaapse Klopse:
   • Welcome to Cape Town   (my favourite song)

Search 'Goema music' for more music similar to that in the parade! Personally, I love ‪@jodijantjies‬ 'Goema Koor'.

Ps Apologies for the blurry part in the beginning.
