Met hul unieke klanke laat hulle jou voete jeuk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Botrivier-Marimba-orkes het klein begin, maar vandag speel hulle nie net die hele Overberg nie, maar ook die land, aan die brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBotrivier is \u2019n klein dorpie wat bestaan uit \u2019n kruidenierswarewinkel, ander klein winkeltjies en \u2019n hotel. Die skool is vir leerders van gr. R tot gr. 9, en as die kinders van die dorp dan moet ho\u00ebrskool toe gaan, moet hulle by skole in Caledon, Grabouw of Hermanus inskryf. Hier is nie veel wat ons kinders in die dorp kan doen nie,\u201d vertel Florence de Louw, bestuurder van die Marimba-orkes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar moes hulle iets doen om die kinders besig en uit die moeilikheid te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLedigheid is die duiwel se oorkussing, en as ons nie ons kinders besig hou nie, gaan hulle in die euwels van die samelewing verval, soos dwelmgebruik en om by bendes aan te sluit. Daarom het ons \u2019n stap van geloof geneem en die Marimba-orkes begin.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Florence s\u00ea hulle het aan die begin van die instrumente van The Enlighten Education Trust in Hermanus gebruik gemaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 groep, wat nou uit 16 lede bestaan, het vinnig van krag tot krag gegaan en naam gemaak. Hulle het selfs in 2017 Botswana gaan besoek om hul talente verder uit te brei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Namate die jare vorder, het hulle die marimbas onder die knie gekry, meer selfvertroue gekry, selfs skoonskip by kompetisies gemaak en ook bekendheid verwerf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVerlede jaar was vir ons \u2019n hoogtepunt. Ons het lekker televisieblootstelling gekry en was op televisieprogramme soos Fiesta<\/i>, KLOP<\/i> en Espresso Morning Show<\/i>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns klanke is ook op RSG tydens \u2019n radio-onderhoud gehoor,\u201d vertel Florence trots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het ook aan die Kunstekaap se jeugfees deelgeneem, asook aan die internasionale Marimba-fees in Gauteng.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ander prestasies is onder meer \u2019n tweede plek in die solo-item by die Virtual International Marimba and Steelpan Festival in 2021, \u2019n tweede plek in die groep-item by die Virtual International Marimba and Steelpan Festival in 2020, \u2019n tweede plek by die Suidoosterfees in 2019, en oorwinnings in die Stellenbosch-eisteddfod in 2016 en die Overberg-eisteddfod in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die orkes tree ook gereeld by verskillende feeste op en kan by die Wines2Whales gesien word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wynplase maak ook gereeld van hul talente gebruik en dit is vir hulle \u2019n eer om gereeld by Gabri\u00eblskloof-, Wildekrans- en Beaumont-wynkelders op te tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns sou nie hierdie prestasies sonder die getroue hulp en opofferings van Ilene Olivier, die afrigter van die orkes en Anna-Marie Kotze, die raadgewer, kon bereik nie,\u201d s\u00ea Florence..<\/span> Die Botrivier-Marimba-orkes tree Vrydag om 17:00 by die Anglikaanse kerk in Botrivier op en almal is welkom om na die orkes te kom kyk en luister. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lesers wat die orkes
