Label Detail
Langarm (straight-arm) captures the mood of the Cape at the end of a long working week. It can be danced to just about any kind of music but ‘Boeremusiek’ is definitely best. We dance it with our arms extended like melodramatic windsurfers. Outsiders find it comical, but that is only until they have tried it.
