The strength of South African storytelling with David Kramer
What does it mean to be an artist? Why is it meaningful to show what’s extraordinary within the ordinary, and in doing so bring people together? One of South Africa's most recognised and beloved musical artists, David Kramer, answers these questions and more in a delightful trip down memory lane, with an eye still firmly on the future, in this episode of Willing & Abel.
David was generous enough to share some of his formative childhood stories and insights on creativity with host Mike Abel. Listen as they discuss our country’s rich cultural history, the importance of grey areas, music as a form of political protest, and what it means to be a storyteller at heart.
