Kaapse Mengsel is a selection of 15 of Bill’s most popular Songs, all recently re-arranged and newly-recorded. The Songs span the whole of Bill’s career from Who are the Africans, written in 1983, to More of the Same, written in 2004.
The Songs, delivered in his distinctive Cape-Folk style coupled with insightful Lyrics in English and “Kombuistaal” reflect Bill’s deep love of the Cape and its colourful “Mengsel” of Peoples.
This is an excellent introduction to Bill’s Music, if you don’t have any of his previous Releases, and for Stalwart Fans, the new arrangements and recordings on “Kaapse Mengsel” provide a fresh look at many of Bill’s well-loved Songs.
