Habanera

U-Carmen eKhayelitsha

[@aprendizercomygor]

What an outstanding and refreshing view of this opera! By the way, I've always longed to hear a Bantu language in opera. They always sound very musical and full of vowels and open syllables, perfect for lyric singing. ;-)

I remember when I watched this when I was young. She was beautiful and curvy and had a strong personality. But it was her beauty that killed her in the end. Her crime was being beautiful

[@ludovico6890]

Her crime was being free and independent.

[@Zobil1]

+flaviawk It's a movie called U-Carmen eKhayelitsha. The movie is a modern remake of Bizet's 1875 opera Carmen. It was shot entirely in Xhosa, and combines both music from the original opera with traditional African music conducted and directed by the British conductor, Charles Hazlewood. It takes place in the Cape Town township of Khayelitsha. U-Carmen was translated into Xhosa by Andiswa Kedama and Pauline Malefane, who also play Amanda and Carmen in the movie, respectively.
