As a Cape Colored im proud u reacting to South African festivals.Love you guys.One Love
This is called Tweede Nuwe Jaar(2nd New years)
The Kaapse Klopse (The people in the vid) celebrate throughout the main streets in Cape Town
This is held every 2nd of Jan and is celebrated by many Cape Coloureds
Reason for it, so the origin is because the slaves originally only got that one day off work thus them celebrating with instruments and dressing up on the 2nd
We also have a Cape Town Carnival which is bigger scale and has all the floats and costumes
(Watered down explanation)
Also the ugly faces they may pull is to make fun of the white masters.
Tweede Nuwe Jaar
@@mikescythian5729 dankie Mike I guess I need another 12 years of Afrikaans
This is the Cape Klopse Carnival that originated in approximately the 1880s. Klopse (a word that comes from the Cape dialect of Afrikaans nowadays called Afrikaaps: essentially a creolised form of Afrikaans, mixed with English and other languages, which is reflective of the numerous origins of the collective of people at the Cape, many with familial ties to slavery) is a corruption of the English word clubs, referring to the many social and other clubs that sprung up in the burgeoning post-slavery communities in Cape Town after the (official) ending of slavery in 1834. (Practices associated with slavery continued long after though, the effects of which resonate strongly to this day). The carnival was established as a celebration of the freedom of slaves and their descendants, who had been resisting white colonialist settlement and rule since its inception in 1652. The Klopse Carnival, at its root, is strongly emblematic of resistance to white subserviency. Its history is emblematic of the ups and downs of the eras and the communities of people who have shaped it: it remains controversial; at various times divisive but also empowering and unifying; deeply symbolic of local culture and identity. Most of all it is community owned and rooted and somehow manages to continue to be a colourful pain in the proverbial for white elites who wish to control it and strip it off of its currency and potency. The link with New Orleans and US southern culture started as a result of the arrival of a southern ship, the Alabama, during the US Civil War. The Alabama was flee-ing pursuit by northern navy ships and escaped furthest south to the port at Cape Town where it hid for some time. Its on-board entertainers essentially provided the musical and celebratorial inspiration for local clubs who had mooted the idea of a celebration as a mark of respect for slaves and their descendants, hence the Klopse Minstrel Carnival was born in the years following the Alabama's time in Cape Town. Typical musical instruments associated with early New Orleans music like the banjo, bass, brass and horns but, uniquely, the ghoema/goema drum, appear in Klopse music. The colourful element represents the different clubs, some with names of American origin, and t It is the oldest surviving urban musical tradition in South Africa.
The parade on the 2nd January starts early morning and goes on through till late the night. People come the night before and camp out to get the most prized viewing spots. It's a whole day affair for the entire family
Best time for you to experience SA...
Anytime from November 30th to January 15th...You won't be disappointed.
(our summer, your winter)
Best weather, sunny everyday.
Best beaches.
Best food.
Klopse (as in video) and this lasts the whole day basically, different groups playing different songs and different costumes.
Road trips and sightseeing...
each group has a different colours, you have thousands of people participating, and they also compete on the stadium for the best group, but this what we call second new year, where we take over the streets of cape Town
This is just one of many many groups. Each group would have their own colors, sound and personality.
Twede nuwejaar is translated 2nd new year's day. The slaves in Cape Town were given the 2nd of January to celebrate new year's day because on now year's day proper they were serving the white masters.
Hi there guys. Thanks for reacting to this. Yes this is only one group there are many more in different colours and music. The "Kaapse Klopse" or Minstrels were created by the slaves(Both African Khoisan and South as well as South East Asian(Malay) slaves) in the 19th century. The slaves in the Cape were given a day off from their oppressed lives on the 2 January every year. They will then use this time to dress up and sing and dance, playing instruments etc. The Cape Coloureds(Not a derogatory term here for mixed people) are descendants of those Asian and African slaves. This is how we celebrate our slave roots. Coloured people are a Mixture of African, Asian, European and some Middle Eastern Ancestry. I'm from the Cape Malay Coloured community. We are predominantly Muslim by faith, but this celebration bring everyone together(White South Africans, Black South Africans etc.)😉👍👌🤜🤛
The Zulu Tramps in New Orleans are basically minstrels though they were supposed to be showing resistance and many Native Americans consider the Mardi Gras Indians as making minstrels of them
That intro is literally the best intro by any bloggers. I know it by heart❤. Signing the attendance sheet., aww mama hope your voice gets better soon.
They compete also in choral vocal items and jazz bands at a big ass stadium there's more content on yt
Kaapse Klopse is us commiserate the slavery at the Cape Point
What you aren't seeing are all the spectators, it's basically a family outing. Picnics and what not
This is a parade where different teams competing in a compilation like Bess dress best band and klopse jol that's to see what jungle squad dance's the best each team has its own colour and own name like them they are called playarz inc
But there's a difference between the Mardi Grass and the Kaapse Klopse
I forgot to mention the outfits,, bands are definitely influence from New Orleans, sailors from there would do a parade not sure if they joined in or had there own
This is us as a whole we do this every year festive time ( New Year’s Eve , New Years etc and it’s just fun happy an every one is dancing and we excited those public holiday’s December and jan coz we know its klopse u guys must come an visit us one time an see for yourself it’s a different experience in real life I love it it’s who we are as coloureds in Cape Town glad u intrigued about it but it has its history behind it to where it started so u can even Google it keep well guys
The Cape Malay of Bo Kaap & the Cape Coloureds from district six started this Minstrel shows they use to get a day off they change colours every year The Cape Malay & Cape Coloureds are on & the same people The Khoi & San & Nama people are the original brown skin Africans they also fall under the Coloured Tag because they are being oppressed
It has a New Orleans vibe.
My unserstanding is the reason why they painted their faces white was based on the African-American Minstrels which was brought over by black- American sailors onboars the US sailing merchant ship The Alabama that docked regularly in Cape Town harbour in the late 1800s
It definitely gives more Secondline from that lil video
The Mardi Gras sounds as if it is more like the Cape Town Carnival.
Every group different colour s.a Cape Town
18 March 2023 is the next
Next what?
Does anyone know what team this is
Playaz
Damn didn’t know they have carnival in Africa
Cape coloureds. Maybe they can come through in ths comments and explain this better
Hi I'm not sure if you meant the history behind it or what coloureds think of it today. Nevertheless this is what coloureds call "klopse" or the "coons".
It's a whole day event where different groups go to different areas and perform. They eventually will meet up in places in town, small areas and basically hold a festival.
There are a variety of groups who dress in their distinct colours and costumes change every year or even a few times a year. There are end of year competitions. Where they will march, perform a song with the band and also have singers perform (in a bit more Malay style.)
This is taken very eriously by a few coloureds, where as others are not as immersed in the "klopse culture".
If you would like to know the history or watch more entertaining groups. I suggest tik tok. This video was quite boring and not really showing the variety the klopse really has.
P. S. Words like colored, coons, etc, are not offensive in South Africa. We have made it our own and reinvented the words.
What's up with your voice? It's kind of coarse🤔
There was black group of singers from the US that came to the Cape in 1890. They were called The Virginia Jubilee Singers. They were led by Orpheus Macadoo. They brought a whole lot of song styles and dress styles. The coloured community were amazed and copied all they could. A lot of the now politically incorrect terms were also copied. Notice the face paint some people in the groups are using? It's an evolution of BLACK FACE.
Thats not 100% accurate
