Nibs van der Spuy will present his A Circle of Swallows on March 7, 2020, at
the Hexagon Dive in Pietermaritzburg.
These 17 handpicked, dreamy instrumentals
and rural love songs represent a cross-section of my recorded work over the
past two decades. They are deeply rooted in the soil of my beloved KwaZulu -Natal,
where the rolling, lush hills meet the Indian Ocean on the east coast of
Southern Africa.
“A few years ago, I spread my wings and
migrated north, making a second home on the Lisbon coast of Portugal, but like
the swallow, which travels thousands of miles every year between Africa and
Europe, I will always return to my roots. In Portugal, swallows are symbols of
romanticism, family, love and loyalty and also represent growth, time and new
beginnings. I hope this anthology somehow embodies this and leaves you with a
sense of home, as you journey to new frontiers and beyond,” says van der Spuy.
A
Circle of Swallows can be seen on March 7 at 19h00.
