Project
The sense of beauty in the Nederlansliedjies of Cape Town’s sangkore
Nederlandsliedjiesare one of the two most important repertoires of creole songs which feature in the competitions of the Sangkore (also called: Nagtroepe, Hollandse Teams or Malay Choirs); they are also the repertoire that raises the strongest emotions among listeners and singers belonging to the group that was labelled coloured during apartheid.
