Silver Fez: Singing the Cape Malay Way | REWIND

- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2018
- The melodious sound of male choirs drifts from the derelict buildings and backyards of the notorious Cape Flats suburbs in Cape Town, South Africa. These are some of the most violent suburbs of the world, where the all-male choirs provide an antidote to the sound of gunfire.
The residents of Cape Flats have a long and somewhat difficult history, some of which is dictated by the arrival of Dutch settlers in the 1600s.
Enslaved skilled workers from Indonesia, India and Madagascar were brought over on the Dutch ships, with their cultural influences still making a clear impact on that of the Cape Malay people who were relocated from the colourful Bo-Kaap quarter and to the barren Cape Flats by the apartheid government.
In the spirit of resistance, resisting oppression and generalisations about their communities, groups of men gather in the declining light of this gangland area to rehearse for a unique annual music festival.
This 2009 film is set around Cape Town's banjo-led male choirs who compete each year in the colourful Silver Fez choral festival.
Three legendary Malay musicians compete for the prestigious awards and a classic story of loyalty and betrayal, wealth and poverty unfolds. We also see the battle of a new choir making its presence felt among the culture's heavyweights.
We explore the unique Nederlandse song and the aformentioned community from which it originates, illustrating the cultural soul of Cape Town. How do these singing men hang on to their unique culture in a time where globalisation of culture can so easily undermine such an antique song form?
Since Al Jazeera spent time with these men, the choir festival lives on, with hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on the organisation and tourism boards designing entire activations around the event and accompanying others held within the same time period, including the annual street festival. However, the choirs we meet may have met a different end.
Alhamdulillah. They are still Malay DNA, beyond outer physic differences. Being a Muslim is the main character of Malay.

@@agusspermata4600 Baie is from the malay word “banyak”
In malay we call it boria
Malay+sian ☝️☝️☝️😍
Malaysia was under the british. Present day Indonesia was under the dutch.. so most of the descendants of Cape Malays are linked from present day Indonesia (many political disidents were exiled to south africa from Maluccas, Java, South sulawesi, sumatra, etc) because south afrika was under dutch rule back then
@@patriot4786 Yes thats right, there are descendants of Malay race, but it is not Indonesian origins. Malay is a race and not belong to any country, neither Malaysia nor Indonesia. Same some claims that Madagascar or Malagasy people of Madagascar origin from Indonesians, as no such thing.
@@hafizhassanovic1899 he's not saying Cape Malays are Indonesian. Because Indonesian is a nationality, while cape Malay's nationality is South African.
He's just saying that Cape Malays came from what is now Indonesia (Java, Sumatra, etc)
Daardie man @ 8:57, is dit nie Moenir Josephs nie? Ek herken vir hom
May Hadji Bucks soul rest in peace
They have their own unique language, culture, music and tradition which is totally different from the Malays in East Asia. They are more like a mix of Arabs and Afrikaans.
Philip Adam Kenapa nak kesian?
I had the honor in meeting hadji Benjamin from surrey estate known as boeta Benjamin he had a property I sold exclusively alghamdulilah rest in peace boeta bucks🙏
That may be true but they are PROUD of being Malays.
They still regard themselves as Malays.
And so should we the Malays of Nusantara.
Because in the end of the day, that is what matters - how they see and regard themselves.
And they see and regard themselves as Malays.
@Philip Adam Betul kenapa nak kesian ?
Hakikatnya mereka masih BANGGA dengan identiti Kemelayuan mereka.
Pada mereka, bangsa mereka adalah Melayu.
Ini menunjukkan kekuatan DNA Kemelayuan.
Walaupun tidak lagi berdarah 100% Melayu dan tidak lagi boleh bercakap dalam bahasa Melayu namun mereka masih mempertahankan identiti Melayu mereka.
Jangan jadi kak enam leee ..... !!!
i sugest the producers of this programme do a bit MORE research before nailing the programme as a Muslim MALAY culture.
Salam melayu
Salam dari Indonesia,panjang umur dunia melayu❤

Malay use Malay writing in Jawi (Arabic alphabet), dress like traditional Malay, use Malay language.
Itu Malay versi Malaysia. Ini mereka adalah DNA Malay yang lebih luas dari definisi Malaysian Malay. As long they are still Muslim, alhamdulillah
7:03 he still has the Javanese face in him
cape malay kok javanese??
@@buddies8757 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't think so looks like javaness.i guess.
Malays? Javanese? These good people look more like Arabs and Indians.
My PEOPLE SCATTERED GLOBALLY, I'M TODAY IN THE UK, ONLY HANDFUL OF CAPE MALAY IN THE UK!😉😉😉😉
Seperti orang maluku di indonesia
Soleh Bandung - tidak sama mereka Malay Cape Town

@@charlieosy7589 kesultanan ternate di Maluku adalah kesultanan melayu paling timur di Nusantara
Memang serupa Melayu Ternate di Indonesia
Where to Meet the Cape Malays
The Circle of Karamats around Cape Town is made up of tombs of twenty five saints from the Muslim community. One important exile is Tuan Guru from Tidore. He spent thirteen years on Robben Island and copied the Koran from memory in a very accurate reproduction and also helped Establish the first Mosque.
If you are in Cape Town you should make time to visit Bo-Kaap, which is the Malay quarter. A tour by a local resident is well worth it. You should also sample a Cape Malay curry which you can get all over South Africa and represents the exotic origins of this unique culture. The curry is rich in spices and fruits, particularly dried apricots.
Is music haraam?
melayu wajah afrika
Mixed
they are not malay...
Keturunan melayu lah tu.
