Now on CD & DVD
The Kramer Petersen Songbook had two sold-out seasons at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town over the summer of 2007/08 and although the show has closed and will not be touring, a live recording with the original cast is now available as a double disc CD. Songbook was created by David Kramer as a tribute to his friend and partner of twenty years, the late Taliep Petersen.
The double disc album features all 38 songs songs performed by the very talented company of Loukmaan Adams, Alistair Izobell, Mono Dullisear, Carmen Maarman, Tarryn Lamb, Bronwyn Reddy and veteran performers Terry Hector and Terry Fortune who recently won a Fleur du Cap for his performance in this musical.
This cd presents a unique opportunity to hear the hits and highlights from all the Kramer/Petersen shows and songs from the musicals Poison and Crooners which have never been available on CD, can now be heard for the first time, as well as the old favourites Welcome To Cape Town, Broertjie My Bra, Klop Klop, So Long Goodbye, Lonely Girl, Queen of Hearts and many others.
Well known Cape Town musician Camillo Lombard is the musical director on this project and he and David have worked very closely together for a number of months to achieve the arrangements that they believe would measure up to the very high standards set by Taliep Petersen. Bassist Howard Links and guitarist Gammie Lakay
who knew and played in bands with Taliep since their teens, form part of the band that includes Larnelle Gordon on drums, Cameron Ward on guitar and Donvino Prins on saxophone.
