Luna Paige's Storielied comes to Cape Town

Paige has invited SA's top session musicians and artists to join her on stage. The show will be recorded live and released in DVD and live CD format in August, 2012.

For centuries SA has been the gathering place where people from all nations got to know each other, learnt each other's languages and built a new history together. From the north came stories of the aristocratic and forbidden love. From the east came spices and women that no man could resist. Those that came from here knew the Earth, her rhythm, her shrubs, her smells, her medicine and her untameable wind.

Fire and forbidden love

Paige ponders about evolution and religion with Ingrid Winterbach. She sings about fire and forbidden love, inspired by Andre Brink's novel, The Ambassador. She highlights a life lesson out of a Margaret Bakkes novel and sings about a Bushman parable as described by Elias Nel. She identifies with Dana Snyman's heartache about his grandmother and wrote a lullaby for one of Chris Barnard's dying characters. She dances till dawn with the freed slaves from Raithby.

Storielied is about the liaison between the human and the Earth. Paige and her band take you on a journey through spaces where you will recognise various aspects of yourself and those that you love.

Instrumentation: grand piano, acoustic guitars, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, percussion and indigenous instrumentation, cello, viola, violin, accordion, concertina, saxophone, backing vocals and contemporary dancers. Sound is provided by Hano Smit from Haudio. Sound engineering and recording by Jurgen von Wechman and Dave Subkleve. Filming by Goosebump Productions. The wine bar is managed by Bellevue Wine Estate.
