Delving deep into Cape Town's early slave history, when the Dutch first settled in South Africa, Spice Drum Beat transforms both old and recent Cape musical history into a highly entertaining and theatrical experience. Enjoy the beat of the spice drum in this vibrant fusion of original song by Kramer & Petersen and folk songs that evolved more than a hundred and fifty years ago in Cape Town.
