Dendera Music Goes On

I had one of those rare moments to meet with one of the Kings of Dendera Music. This happened when I was in London when I heard that the musician was performing in London. I arranged this interview with enthusiasm, keen to find out how the group was moving on after the passing away of the Legendary Simon “Chopper” Chimbetu. I was pleased to learn that the group is growing from strength to strength and has recorded several more albums. News was abuzz that the two shows they had performed had been a great success and it had been a New Year’s Eve with a difference. I had my cameras ready and rolling but due to a tight schedule I was accorded half an hour which culminated in this short video and a few photo shots. I cannot wait to let the Dendera fans have this clip. I will review some of the music that I was made available to me forthat purpose. Watch this space for more. Aluta continua!!
