The Karoo Project: Jitsvinger - " Doenit"

The Karoo Project was recorded by Rootspring Music in the desert landscapes of the Karoo after the first lockdown. This unique experience, created in nature by musicians eager to play music again, captures these soundscapes in their most raw and stripped-down form.

The Karoo Project is produced by Rootspring in association with the KKNK, supported by Absa and Business Arts South Africa (BASA).

Episode 2:
Jitsvinger is an established Cape Flats-born conceptual writer, composer, guitarist, educator, musician, poet and performing artist. After the success of his debut album, Skeletsleutel, Jitsvinger has collaborated with classical musicians, jazz nominees, pioneers and legends, and has performed on stages and in festivals both locally in his home country of South Africa and internationally including Taiwan, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Chilé. He has composed and written music for theatre productions and film. Jitsvinger is a social commentator on issues concerning heritage, culture and especially the Afrikaans language.

Jitsvinger's "Doenit '' is a head bobbing, high energy piece that speaks directly to one's inner child and ability to move and let go. A playful yet very intentional approach to leaning back into our inner child and reclaiming our personal surrender.
