Acclaimed guitarist Nibs van der Spuy will be
playing a special solo concert, in Mount Moreland, at Shapes of Africa, for the
release of his brand new Anthology album, A
Circle of Swallows. This is where the inspiration for his anthology was
born.
Nibs migrated north a few years ago to
Portugal and, like the swallow which travels thousands of miles every year
between Africa and Europe, he always returns to his roots in Kwa-Zulu. In
Portugal the swallow is a symbol of romanticism, family, love and loyalty and
also represent growth, time and new beginnings. He hopes this Anthology
embodies this and leaves the listener of a sense of home, as they journey to
new frontiers and beyond.
He will be playing a cross section of his
finest musical moments covering two decades. From dreamy instrumentals to rural
love songs, he carefully handpicked the 17 songs that form part of his glorious
journey which has seen him play in many countries across the world.
Mount Moreland is up the north coast. One
takes the Umhlodti turnoff, turn left, then first right. About 1.5km as the
crow flies from the airport.
