Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
One Love, Ghoema Beat: Inside the Cape Town Carnival takes readers behind the scenes of one of the world?s least known and most colorful carnivals. Similar in many ways to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, the Cape Town Carnival is unique in its history, which is rooted in South Africa?s troubled past, and in its music, which is propelled by the mesmerizing ghoema beat.In 2006, historian and photographer John Edwin Mason joined the Pennsylvanians Crooning Minstrels, one of the best known of Cape Town?s sixtyplus Carnival troupes. For the next four seasons, he took part in the troupe?s rehearsals, street marches, and competitions. He also spent time with other troupes, getting to know their members and traditions. This unprecedented access allowed him to photograph every phase of the troupe?s life?the spectacular parades and grueling latenight practice sessions, the frenetic workshops of drum makers and tailors, the rituals of donning costumes and makeup, and the joy and agony of intertroupe competitions. His photos simultaneously dazzle the eye and engage the mind.Mason lived in Cape Town in 1989 and 1990 and has visited the city yearly ever since. One Love, Ghoema Beat is his second book about the city?s culture and history.
