EspañolDAVID KRAMER
'David Kramer' (born Worcester, South Africa in 1951) is a singer, songwriter, playwright and director, most notable for his musicals about the Cape Coloured communities.
During Kramer's stay in Worcester he had some music lessons with the classical composer Cromwell Everson. He played in a South African band called The Creeps (Band) in the 1960's, and moved to England in 1971 to study textile design at Leeds University. His first release was a half live/half studio album ''Bakgat'' issued by Mountain Records in 1981, most of which was banned by the SABC. His follow up album ''Die Verhaal van Blokkies Joubert'' came later that year and produced the singles ''Hak Hom Blokkies'' and ''Die Royal Hotel'' both of which topped singles charts on various South African Radio stations. The album reached number 11 on the South African LP charts. His only other singles chart success was with ''Stoksielalleen'' from the ''Kwaai'' album, however he did chart with ''Delicious Monster'', ''Hanepootpad'' and ''Kwaai'' in the albums charts.
In 1986 he collaborated with Taliep Petersen on the highly acclaimed stage musical ''District Six'' It was also with Petersen that he produced ''Fairyland'' and ''Kat & the Kings'' all to critical acclaim, the latter having successful runs on Broadway and in London's West End.
With his trademark red velskoene shoes, bicycle and guitar, he has been an enduring figure on South Africa's music scene. His songs are mostly stories about ordinary life in South Africa life.
