\u201c \u2019n Lig moet nooit onder die tafel geplaas word nie, maar liewer bo-op, sodat die hele vertrek verlig kan word. My omgewing, waar ek bly, is my vertrek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So verduidelik \u2019n passievolle musikant wat as ligdraer die sypaadjies by die strand in sy verhoog omskep en teen die asemrowende agtergrond van majestueuse sonsondergange sy Godgegewe talent met strandgangers deel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die straatmusikant Marcel Venter is verlede week opgedra in \u2019n Facebook-inskrywing deur een van talle luisteraars wat geestelik verryk is deur sy bewonderenswaardige straatoptredes en hartroerende melodie\u00eb wat sy merkwaardige vaardighede uitbeeld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is vir my besonders om te sien hoe mense aangeraak word deur my musiek. My hoop is bloot dat elkeen weer \u2019n positiewe uitkyk op die lewe sal ontvang,\u201d het di\u00e9 27-jarige inwoner van Strand, wat met sy stem en kitaar tower, ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marcel het voorts vertel dat hy sedert verlede jaar langs die strand oorkant die bekende N\u2019ice-roomyswinkel naby Ben\u2019s on the Beach optree. Hy kan gewoonlik weeksdae tussen 16:00 en 19:00 in lewende lywe ervaar word. Met sy vermaaklike weergawes van liedjies uit verskeie genres, insluitend gospel, country, pop <\/i>en golden oldies<\/i>, deel hy sy boodskap met ander \u2013 om dit wat God binne-in hom vermag, uit te straal. \u201cEk is opgewonde oor elke straatoptrede omdat ek elke keer unieke konneksies met mense maak, en ek ervaar \u2019n gedeelte van die mense waarna almal verlang \u2013 die goeie gedeelte,\u201d het hy aangevoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marcel speel die kitaar ongeveer ses jaar al, wat eintlik as aanvulling vir sy stem \u2013 die instrument waarmee hy werklik spog \u2013 dien. Vir hom is daar min dinge lekkerder as die eenvoudige genot wat hy uit kitaar-speel put, want volgens hom bied di\u00e9 instrument, anders as ander, hom die geleentheid om lekker te beweeg terwyl hy liedjies uitvoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMusiek is medikasie vir die siel. Die kitaar is \u2019n instrument met geen beperking nie. Jy kan een liedjie op duisende verskillende maniere speel,\u201d het hy bygevoeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marcel het meegedeel dat hy baie lank gesukkel het om sy musiek \u2019n voltydse beroep te maak weens die negatiewe aanslag van ander se opinies. Maar, hy het in Maart besluit hy is bereid om elke aand brood te eet en die geloofsprong gemaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nou hoop hy om ander se lewe te verander deur hulle te inspireer om hul drome na te streef ten spyte van wat die w\u00eareld dink. \u201cMusiek is \u2019n groot term wat baie dinge behels; een daarvan is die adrenalien wat deur \u2019n mens se liggaam vloei wanneer jy optree. Ek dink dit is seker een van die mees opwindende beroepe en die feit dat ek \u2019n adrenalien junky<\/i> is, maak my lewe net soveel beter. Ek hou ook van konstante verandering en my kantoor is basies op enige plek in die w\u00eareld,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 gekwalifiseerde musikant, wat sy diploma aan die Campus of Performing Arts verwerf het, droom daarvan om op soveel plekke as moontlik musiek te maak en lewens aan te raak. Sy boodskap is: \u201cGod lewe en Hy hoor jou, so gesels maar gerus met Hom.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
