New Yorkers talk about 'The Village' Parisians 'Montmartre' in Cape Town we have the 'Bo Kaap' ... Originally home to slaves from Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bali... Political exiles, convicts, skilled craftsmen, artisans, scholars, religious leaders, musicians and talented cooks lived side by side. Displaced from their homelands the slaves carried with them their religious beliefs, traditions and skills to create the vibrant Bo Kaap. This vibrancy and eclectic mix of residence still exists today. The colourful houses of the Bo Kaap are home to Jazz Musicians, Artists, Sculptors, Photographers and of course Muslim families who's history extends back many generations. Mosques stretch up regally amongst both old and modern architecture. The Muezzin can be heard in varying clarity throughout the day.
