Prof. Veit Erlmann...the show will go on...

It was great being interviewed by Prof. Veit Erlmann about the Indigenous Knowledge IP Bill. The orchestra hadn't really thought about the implications of the bill and quite frankly, felt that they will create the way they have been doing because what they express is in essence who they are.

We can't change our history. Even if the bill were to destroy their potential revenue, they wouldn't change their mode of music expression.

The Cape Town tour is going really well and the orchestra is to have the last show at the Baxter theatre. We are looking forward to blowing the Gauteng province away!
