Bo Kaap

by glennkasner - last update: Dec 29, 2003

Colourful Bo Kaap

On the slopes of Signal Hill you'll find the Old Malay Quarter also referred to as "Bo - Kaap" ( Upper Cape) with it's colourful British & Dutch styled homes.
This historical part of Cape Town has remained virtually unchanged since the early 1800's
The Bo-Kaap, back dropped by Hoeri Kwagga ( Table Mountain) really comes to life on Tweede Nuwejaar ( Second New year - 2 January, when the annual "Coon Carnival" takes place in Cape Town.

 This club doesn't exist anymore for about 5 years! There is a new drumming venue called Drum Mania every Wednesday just off Hope Street in Gardens. Here is the website for details: www.drummania.co.za
