Synopsis



Once upon a time in a city at the end of Africa, Kaatji Davids, a house painter with barely two cents to his name, an old banjo and a few very close friends had the audacity to imagine that he would be the one to beat Hadji Bucks, undisputed champion of Cape Malay music. The prize is the Silver Fez, Holy Grail of Cape Town's Islamic subculture. The contest involves a cast of thousands and a staggering variety of melodies.
