The Next 48hOURS • What’s Hot

Dee Alexander

By Peter Feldman

Dee Alexander, described as Chicago’s most gifted and respected vocalist, will be heading to Johannesburg

for the first time in September to shower her talents on the locals at the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz.

This annual music event, at the Sandton Convention Centre on four stages (Dinaledi, Diphala, Vonga and Mbira), will take place from Septem-ber 24 to 26 and features an amazing line-up of international musicians and singers that includes Peabody Bryson, William Parker, Larry Carlton, Marcus Millar and The Yellow Jack-ets.

Alexander’s talents span every music genre, from Gospel to R&B; from Blues to Neo-Soul. Yet her true heart and soul are expressed in their purest forms by performing in the Jazz idiom.

Besides being a phenomenal lead act in her own right, Alexander has shared the stage with such musical luminaries as Ahmad Jamal, David Sanborn, Earl Klugh, Gerald Albright, Roy Ayers, Joshua Redman, and the O’Jays.

Never one to bathe in the spot-light exclusively, Alexander has lent her considerable talents as a backup vocalist to the live performances of an array of many other renowned singers such as Michael Bolton, Phil Perry, Willie Clayton, and Zora Young.

Alexander also formed the Evolu-tion Ensemble, which is an acoustic group that consists of string instru-ments and percussion with a strong emphasis on original compositions.

Her albums are few: ‘Live at the Hothouse’ in 2004; and then, in 2008, both ‘Unplugged’ and ‘Evolu-tion Ensemble: Live at Hyde Park Art Center’; with her other releases being rounded out by ‘Wild in the Wind’ and her latest ‘Songs My Mother Loves’.

In an interview, Alexander said she was both “excited” and “elated” to be coming to this part of the world. “The closest I got to South Africa was to perform in Angola and that

was my first trip to Africa - and that was last year in March,” she said.

“I am planning on performing a wide range of material at the Joy of Jazz. I was talking to my musical di-rector about what I am going to do and there will be a great variety in store for you down in South Africa,”

added the singer.While Alexander is rightly viewed

as a musical treasure in her home-town of Chicago, thanks to her con-certs and albums, it was through ‘Songs My Mother Loves’ that she truly expanded her reach.

Talking about the album, Alexan-

der said it was doing fairly well and both she and her mother were happy about that. “I wanted to pay tribute to my mother while I still have her,” she said when asked about her mo-tivation, adding that “she’s so elated and just so happy about the success of it.”

“I chose songs that I remembered listening to that she would play when I was a child here in Chicago. My brothers and I would be awoken every morning to the music while she was ironing the clothing and sing-ing along to the different artists. It’s unfortunate that you can only put so many songs on a CD, because I had about 50 songs. There were also a couple of songs that I liked and that I actually introduced her to. That was exciting as well.”

She talked about the difficulty in choosing the right repertoire for the album, “because there were so many songs that I loved and that my Mom loved. But two particular numbers stood out: ‘Perdido’ and ‘Guess Who I Saw Today’, made famous by Nancy Wilson, were Mother’s top favourites and had to be on the album. There were also songs by Abbey Lincoln, whom my mother wasn’t familiar with and I had to introduce her to. I would awaken many mornings to Billie Holiday’s ‘Now or Never’. I went onto Billie’s discography and found the song and I love it.”

“I always loved music and I was al-ways surrounded by music. It wasn’t until I got into high school when the music bug really hit me. I was always involved in something musical; even throughout my formative years. Mu-sic was always in my life and when I became an adult I decided I would tackle this thing called music and it has been very gratifying for me.”

Living in Chicago, Oprah’s territo-ry, I asked whether she had met her. “I was once in a group of singers and we did her Christmas party one year, but I have not met her one-on-one.”

After her short stint in Johannes-burg, Alexander will undertake con-certs in Europe. “I love touring and visiting different places and seeing different cultures,” she said. “I do a lot of travelling in Europe.”

She is bringing out her musical director Miguel De La Cerna on keys, Junius Paul on bass and Yussef Er-nie Adams on drums. “These musi-cians have worked with me for years, so I feel very comfortable with them. We’re friends, like a family really. And they know my music. It’s not only about my music with me; I am always open to suggestions from the band members.”

Asked how she felt about the state of jazz in America, Alexander responded by saying that a lot of people were saying that “old jazz” is dead. “But its American classical music and will be here long after we are gone. I am so happy to see a re-surgence of it amongst young peo-ple. They are taking it by the horns and what they are coming up with is not just innovative, but speaks to the classical as well. I’m fond of this music. In Chicago we have a fresh bunch of musicians and singers in their early 20s and early 30s and they are taking this music by storm. It’s very refreshing.”

Her message to fans is that she is so happy to be coming to South Afri-ca and finally meet her South African brothers and sisters, where they can share stories and share music.

An avid reader, movie-goer, and one who is always writing music, Al-exander also finds time to spend with her five-year-old granddaughters. “I’m a pretty simple, off the scene kind of person,” she concludes.

Conrad Koch and Chester Missing John Vlismas Nik RabinowitzTumi Morake

SA’s best and brightest comedic minds offer “solutions” to our political quagmire

An all-star cast of local come-dy talent is currently assem-bled at The Teatro at Mon-tecasino for Nando’s Mass

Hysteria 2015 – ‘The Long Bunfight to Freedom’.

The comedy showcase aims to provide relief to South Africans bat-tered and bruised by the shenanigans of the political class of late. Nando’s is committed to keeping the heat on those responsible, and even though they don’t profess to have all the an-swers, they sure know how to turn on the burn, courtesy of the likes of John Vlismas and Tumi Morake.

Quite simply, if comedy had a government, this would be it. From the makers of The Comics’ Choice Awards, ‘Revelations’, ‘Bitches’ and other great comedy shows comes one of the most anticipated comedy pro-ductions of the year. Look forward to a handpicked line-up of the best stand-ups in the country each night on one stage.

The line-up is as follows:

• Nik Rabinowitz: Minister of Shark Infested Water Affairs• Chester Missing: Shadow Puppet Minister• Tumi Morake: Minister of Ben 10’s, YOLO and Homesteads• Mpho Popps Modikoane: Minister of Television and Gratuitous Adverts• John Vlismas: Minister of Non-Communicative DiseasesAnd for the first time in years…Marc Lottering as Minister of the Cape, Retail Therapy and Statues

PETER TROMP threw some inves-tigative curveballs at VLISMAS, MISSInG, MORAKE and RAbInOW-ITZ to get to the heart of the is-sues comedy fans have on their collective minds right now.

What does your ministerial portfo-lio entail exactly?JOHn VLISMAS: The Ministry of Non-Communicative Diseases is a very important one, as we bring lit-tle-known diseases to the fore. We have had enough of these Ebolas and HIV’s that hog the limelight, and take all the budget. And then we are flooded by all these cheap Asian ge-nerics as well. What about the Com-mon Cold? Why must the common ones be left with no headlines? We want to see an African flu dominat-ing the news by 2018.CHESTER MISSInG: I have no idea. I can’t even remember which one it was. I am a puppet. I serve whichever portfolio seems expedient for easy laughs.nIK RAbInOWITZ: As the Minister of Shark Infested Water Affairs, my job is to ensure the safety of both humans and sharks when in one an-other’s presence. Usually this occurs in the water. Spe-cifically Cape waters. Also, I have never succeeded. Seems our methods need some attention.TUMI MORAKE: It entails protect-ing ‘Ben10’ and benefactors of such, maintaining national morale with the spirit of YOLO and the general up-keep of homesteads.

What qualifies you to hold an office of such immense responsibility?VLISMAS: This is not an appropri-ate question, you bloody agent. What qualifies you to ask it? I will wait for my day in court, and anyway, my dog ate my certificate, but I don’t owe you any proof. Panzi, whistleblower, Panzi.MISSInG: This puppet situation isn’t getting through, is it? RAbInOWITZ: This is not widely known, but I am actually half Jewish, half Dolphin.MORAKE: My years in the comedy struggle, while dabbling at some point or other with issues related to said portfolio.

Where can people report you if they’re lacking in service delivery?VLISMAS: They must reach me on Twitter: @fortyshort, because my of-fice phone hasn’t been paid due to CIA tapping via agent Madonsela and the colonial forces of Imperialism.MISSInG: They can call Telkom en-quiries, if they still exist. 1023 peo-ple, 1023.RAbInOWITZ: All negative com-ments/reports/thoughts/ideas can be sent, by South African Postal Service only, to the Shark Spotters’ Society Headquarters on Muizenberg beach. Or to the Human Spotters’ Society in the middle of the ocean. Whatever’s easiest.MORAKE: There is a B13 form which needs to be filled in with black fine ink, stamped with the E78 stamp, then certified, including original copy of show ticket, and submitted in per-son to the Minister of Mass Deaths.

As the show is called ‘Mass Hys-teria’, I guess it’s only fair to ask: What is the most hysterical you’ve ever been?VLISMAS: When I was asked Ques-tion 2, I was quite worried as I was promised by Number One that no-body would ask about that. Maybe not hysterical, but close.MISSInG: When I found out they are releasing Oscar during Woman’s Month. WTF man? What’s next? ‘Cosby Show’ re-runs?RAbInOWITZ: I’m usually quite hys-terical anytime I mistake a seal for a shark. I would also become hysterical if I were to mistake a navy seal for a seal. I think I would become hysteri-cal on seeing an actual shark too.MORAKE: When minister Lottering thought someone had put relaxer in his hair.

Do you have any particular public figures in your comedic crosshairs?VLISMAS: There are a few, but the way number one has been behaving, it was better when his job description was still number two.MISSInG: I don’t know what come-dic cross hairs are. I am bald.RAbInOWITZ: Yes, the Minister for Redistribution of Land Rovers and I often disagree on public policy.MORAKE: That is a very un-demo-cratic question; I do not recognize you.

What is your best joke in 140 char-acters or less?VLISMAS: Please don’t be ignorant; I am saving my best joke for the show,

not giving it for free to some bloody agent.MISSInG: Steve Hofmeyr.RAbInOWITZ: “We are going to close Twitter.” - J. MalemaMORAKE: Wanna get laid, crawl up a chicken’s ass and wait.

If you were a for-real minister, how would you go about livening up Par-liament? Or should that be livening down, in lieu of recent events? VLISMAS: I think I would allow hon-ourable members to carry tazers, set to non-lethal, of course. I would also schedule Roasts, rather than let them happen at random, and I would defi-nitely allow EFC cage fighters to han-dle security. The dress code would be “Mampara Formal” and I would al-low drinks and snacks in the house, so maybe more members would come to work and earn their salaries.MISSInG: I would cut the time for the buffet and only provide enough plates for half the parliamentarians. Eat faster, bitches.RAbInOWITZ: It’s obvious - I would move Parliament to the beach.MORAKE: I would begin by saying “the money is on its way”, before opening the floor to questions.

Nataniël’s latest flight of imagination has landed on stageSinger, songwriter, author and enter-tainer Nataniël is bringing his latest stage creation, ‘After Animals’, to the Theatre Of Marcellus at Emperors Palace in Kempton Park from Thurs-day, August 20, to September 27. In-spired by his travels and love for both classic and contemporary art, this show was conceived after an incident in an art gallery in Europe when Na-taniël met an artist who had created an exquisite paper model of a white, empty zoo.

The artist handed viewers pens and asked them to write on the base of the model. They had to write the names or descriptions of anyone or anything they thought should live in the zoo.

Nataniël wrote, “The Beasts That

Try To Rule Us, The Demons That Haunt Us, The Monsters We May Be-come”. Within days the idea for this new show had taken shape. Taking place in the not-so-distant future, the story begins on the night when, during a secret ceremony, the last animal on earth gets slaughtered and eaten. The already fragile world im-mediately starts changing, from the forests to the cities, from the homes of families to the hearts of the most powerful individuals. This forms the backdrop for Nataniël’s latest stories and songs. Dark, dramatic, fantasti-cal, humorous and surprising, ‘After Animals’ promises to be a true the-atrical event.

The all-male cast includes Nico-laas Swart (vocals), newcomer Fran-

cois Joubert (vocals), Martin van Heerden (dancer), Bradley Dreyer (acrobat), Charl du Plessis (key-boards), Juan Oosthuizen (guitar), Werner Spies (bass) and Hugo Radyn (drums). An ambitious wardrobe, in-spired by sculpture and origami, has been create by multi-award winner, Floris Louw. The staging is designed by Nataniël with sets and props cre-ated by Nadine Minnaar and Stephan Kruger. Lighting is by Nataniël and Kevin Stannet.

* Tickets priced between R160 and R220 can be booked by calling the box office on 011 928 1213/1297; by sending an email to boxofficeinfo@emperorspalace.com; or at Compu-ticket. Nataniël done up in sculpture/origami styled design of the play

Landy FestivalThis is an event for the Land Rover owner and outdoor en-thusiast. Look forward to the lifestyle expo, Beer Garden, Vehicle Displays and Live En-tertainment. There will also be

Perennially popular South African pop artists Freshlyground will be performing at the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden as

part of the fifth season of the winter se-ries, Old Mutual Music in the Gardens, on Sunday, August 23.

Freshlyground formed in early 2002, and is made up of seven diverse musi-cians from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Fronted by the diminu-tive Zolani Mahola, the band exudes a live performance energy that has been the bedrock of their success.

Freshlyground’s musical style blends elements of traditional South African music (such as kwela and African folk music), blues, jazz, and features of indie rock. The group launched their debut al-bum, ‘Jika Jika’, in 2003 under their own Freeground Records label, the immediate success of which firmly cemented the band as one of South Africa’s most suc-cessful young acts.

On July 18, 2009, at the Wembley Stadium, in London the group performed during the Mandela Day celebrations in a star studded line-up that included Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Wyclef Jean and a host of international names as well as contingent of African stars such as Angelique Kidjo and Baaba Maal join-ing Grammy Award winners, The Soweto Gospel Choir, to name a few.

During the 2010 Fifa World Cup,

Freshlyground together with pop star Shakira performed the song ‘Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)’ at the pre-tourna-ment kick-off concert in Soweto on June 10. The group also won a 2009 SAMA award in the category: Best Global Chart DVD: Freshlyground Live! South African Tour’.

The fifth Old Mutual Music in the Gardens series has again featured the hottest names in South African music since kicking off in June, and will con-tinue until November. Held in the idyllic Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden and Pretoria National Botanical Garden, the series will ensure that you and your family stay toasty while the temperatures dip curing the last dregs of winter.

From Jaziel Brothers, Simphiwe Dana and Freshlyground through to Shortstraw and South Africa’s best The Parlotones, concert goers can expect an afternoon of music that will entertain the whole fami-ly. Concert goers are encouraged to come early, bring a picnic basket and spend a leisurely day in the mild Winter sun.

* The concert kicks off at 1pm. Entry is R50, with children under 13 entering for free.Visit www.sanbi.org/events for more in-formation.Address: End of Malcolm Road, Poort-view, Roodepoort

The Country MarketAn authentic food and craft

Three of the country’s fore-most jazz and soul outfits will be taking to the stage as part of the Business Pre-

mium Jazz Festival at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena on Saturday, August 22. The stellar line-up features award winning Acapella group, The Soil; multiple SAMA and Metro Award

winner, Zonke Dikana; fast-rising eclectic soul music ensemble, The Muffinz; and Native Rhythm new-comer Tribute Birdie Mboweni.

Music fans can brace for an eve-ning of superlative entertainment by these top calibre artists. The day be-fore, Friday, August 21, there will be a string of emerging comedians col-

laborating for the Business Premium Comedy Festival.

“We have a weekend full of super-charged entertainment on the cards. These are great comedians and artists on the bill,” says Matthew Cook, the Entertainment and Events Manager at Carnival City.

The jazz festival will have jazz en-

thusiasts on their toes for four solid hours. The Soil performs what they describe as “Kasi Soul” – an eclectic mix of musical genres such as jazz, hip hop, Afro-pop and Afro-soul. They strive to fuse their harmonious voices to deliver uplifting melodies with meaningful messages.

The five young musicians who make up The Muffinz have made for a refreshing change from the usual run of the mill rappers and house DJs, who are currently dominating the popular music scene, in that they play real instruments, and they play them well. The band switches from a groovy R&B rhythm led by acoustic guitarist Mthae and bassist Skabz, to a classy jazz guitar sound introduced by electric guitarist and acapella singer, Simz.

Acclaimed musician and song-stress, Zonke’s sound is collectively classified as Afro-soul. Her musi-cal influences include the likes of Busi Mhlongo and the late Miriam Makeba, with her all-time favourite artist being Brenda Fassie. Zonke has also written many hit songs for art-ists such as Theo Kgosinkwe, Winnie Khumalo and Tsepo Tshola.

* Tickets can be booked at Compu-ticket and range in price from R150 per person. The show will start at 8pm, but the doors to the Big Top will open earlier at 7pm.

The Song Man of ‘War Horse’ to retell Joey’s storyBased on the novel by Michael Mor-purgo, ‘War Horse’ captured the hearts of South African theatregoers last year. The Pieter Toerien, RMB and National Theatre production, featuring the breathtaking talents of the Handspring Puppet Company, sold out in Cape Town and Johan-nesburg.

The production told the ex-traordinary story of Albert and his beloved horse, Joey, who was req-uisitioned to fight for the British in World War I. Part of the unique theatrical experience was the music played live on stage by Bob Fox in his role as Song Man.

If you missed the unforgettable production, take heart - you have another chance to travel with Joey from pastoral fields to the front line and into no-man’s land, as Bob

Fox narrates and sings through the timeless story of ‘War Horse’ at Pi-eter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre & Studio from Wednesday, August 26, to Sunday, September 6. Fox has created a brand new concert perfor-mance of all of the ‘War Horse’ folk songs, combined with some newly written songs from BBC Radio 2`s ‘The Ballads of the Great War’ and old favourites from his many previ-ous recordings.

Already a virtuoso guitarist, Fox will also be showcasing his newly acquired melodeon playing skills.

* Show times: Tuesdays to Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays at 4pm and 8pm; and Sundays at 3pm and 6pm.Tickets are priced between R100 and R250 and can be booked at Com-puticket.

Many have heard the songs, yet many people don’t realise Shaun Ja-cobs is one of South Africa’s own, and are only just beginning to match the songs they are well familiar with to the artist. Jacobs is a multi-instru-mentalist singer/songwriter from Jo-hannesburg who has caught the at-tention of not only the music scene in South Africa, but also of producer Simon Painter in Los Angeles, who will be taking Jacobs over to the States at a later stage. ‘Love Can’ is arguably one of the biggest SA tracks of recent years, reaching number 2 on the 5fm Top 40 and number 1 on several other stations on the back of extensive airplay.

It held the number 1 spot on the local iTunes chart for 12 weeks con-secutive and came in as the 14th most played song in all of Africa

against all international music on Simfy for 2013. Jacobs has followed this up with the single ‘End of the Road’, which also made its presence felt on the SA charts. The artist and his band will be performing at the Barnyard Theatre in Rivonia on Sat-urday, August 22, at 8pm.

Shaun Jacobs Band have been hard at work in the studio recording their new album ‘As Shadows Fall’ and have just released the first single ‘Don’t Let Go’. Jacobs started out as a solo musician, which is how he recorded the breakout album ‘Love Can’ and before that ‘Paper Wings’ – albums on which he played every instrument and recorded, mixed and produced everything himself.

It was when he started touring the music and was joined by Andrew Sowter on drums and Craig Sparks on

bass that the three-piece now known as Shaun Jacobs Band formed.

“Over the last two years of playing together we have developed some-thing very special as a unit and as friends,” says Jacobs. “It has changed the way I write and put music to-gether, and we are really excited to take what has been happening on the stage and pour it into this al-bum”. It was the launch of the single ‘Love Can’ that catapulted the act across the radio and TV airwaves of SA. The album saw them walk away with the Adult Contemporary Al-bum of the Year at the 2014 SAMAs (South African Music Awards).

FILM: HENRY CAvILL IN ‘THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.’CAST: HENRY CAvILL, ARMIE HAMMER, ALI-CIA vIkANDER, ELIzABETH DEBICkI, JARED HARRIS, HUGH GRANT, LUCA CALvANIDIRECTOR: GUY RITCHIE

Henry Cavill (‘Man of Steel’) stars as Napoleon Solo oppo-site Armie Hammer (‘The So-cial Network’) as Illya Kuryakin

in director Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’, a fresh take on the hugely popular 1960s television series.

Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, the film centres on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside long-standing hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious in-ternational criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile bal-ance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The

duo’s only lead is the daughter of a van-ished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.

“It’s a zone I find fascinating, the way men interact with each other,” says Ritchie, who directed, produced, and co-wrote ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ screen-play, based on the hit 1960s TV series of the same name. “Even going back to ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,’ I’m drawn to that male-to-male dynamic as kind of a genre unto itself.”

Dynamic would be the word for it, as the first time elite CIA operative Solo meets his formidable KGB counterpart, Kuryakin, they are trying to kill each oth-er. Each has been sent to extract the same vital German asset from behind the Berlin Wall at the height of the Cold War, and taking out the competition in the process would just be icing on the cake.

Days later, after being informed by their respective handlers that they will now be working together on the case, killing each other is unfortunately – al-beit temporarily – off the table, leaving the sworn rivals to vent their national and professional antagonism in a bare-knuckled, bust-up-the-furniture, “getting to know you” fight designed to convey in no uncertain terms that they might be stuck with this deal, but they don’t have to like it.

So in some respects, it’s a buddy mov-ie…apart from the fact that “they kick the living daylights out of each other as soon as they meet,” says Henry Cavill, who stars as Solo, the suave and often self-serving American agent.

Starring as Kuryakin, Armie Hammer offers the volatile but more conventional Russian’s point of view: “Kuryakin is the ultimate soldier, always in line and giving

his best. Then he’s thrust into a position that he hates and there’s nothing he can do about it. This guy he’s working with, this Napoleon Solo, he’s so unorthodox. He doesn’t follow the rules. He doesn’t even seem to know there are rules.”

“What we found so irresistible,” says Ritchie, “was taking these polar-opposite agents and forcing them together so that they start out trying to annihilate each other and end up cooperating, but maybe still not entirely trusting each other. The story is largely the evolution of their col-laboration.

The fact that one represents capitalist America and the other represents com-munist Russia, and these two super pow-ers have to team up to neutralize a threat with global stakes, is a great premise that you can have a lot of fun with, and that’s really the spine of the story.”

FILM: BOYCHOIRCAST: DUSTIN HOFFMAN, kATHY BATES, EDDIE IzzARD, JOSH LUCAS, GARRETT WAREINGDIRECTOR: FRANCOIS GIRARD

The rousing, music-filled ‘Boy-choir’ begins with Stet (newcomer Garrett Wareing), who is strug-gling just to get by in a tough Texas neighbourhood with an overwhelmed single mom. His school principal (Winger) is con-vinced his angelic singing voice is

worth championing, but Stet has no idea how it might help him face the dark realities of his life. That all shifts when a sudden ac-cident lands Stet on the East Coast at one of the most elite private boychoir schools in the country, the National Boychoir Academy. It might be his only hope, but he knows he doesn’t fit in. He’s never studied music, there’s not a single soul to support him and he’s filled with a seething rage he can’t begin to express. Even worse, he imme-

diately runs up against the most demanding, uncompromising and compelling person he’s ever met: the school’s lauded, if increasingly jaded, Headmaster Carvelle (Dustin Hoffman). Yet, Stet’s inner grit brings forth an astonishing sound. And the more he sings, the more Carvelle begins to see his passion growing - a passion that will im-pact not only Stet’s own life but those around him.

From Carvelle himself to his snobbish associate Drake (Eddie Izzard) to the school’s down-to-earth headmistress (Kathy Bates) to the young teacher who fights for Stet (Kevin McHale) to the es-tranged father who is trying to hide his very existence (Joshua Lucas) to Devon, the star singer who is Stet’s fiercest rival (newcomer Joe West), Stet’s campaign to redeem himself begins to catch everyone’s attention. At the same time, every-one knows no boy singer’s voice can last - or survive adolescence. Change is coming, but with it, a lesson that endures: to make the absolute most of what you’ve got in the moment.

FILM: PAPER TOWNSCAST: AUSTIN ABRAMS, CARA DELEvIGNE, HALSTON SAGE, JAz SINCLAIR, JUSTICE SMITH, NAT WOLFFDIRECTOR: JAkE SCHREIER

A coming-of-age story centring on Quentin (Nat Wolff) and his enig-matic neighbour Margo (Cara Dele-vigne), who loved mysteries so much she became one. After taking him on

an all-night adventure through their hometown, Margo suddenly disap-pears - leaving behind cryptic clues for Quentin to decipher. The search leads Quentin and his quick-witted friends on an exhilarating adventure that is equal parts humorous and moving. Ultimately, to track down Margo, Quentin must find a deeper understanding on true friendship - and true love.

By RoxykEmail: roxyK@48hours.co.za

My travels have taken me to some of the best spas around the world. Every spa treat-

ment is unique in its massage tech-niques and products that are used on the body and face. Surprisingly, even if you visit a spa that falls un-der the same corporate umbrella, the treatments and results felt by the body are completely dif-ferent. The reason for this is the knowledge that the therapist has about the anatomy of the body. Individual understandings of the muscles, tension and stress release will invariably differ from therapist to therapist.

We all know that massages cause physiological changes to the body through the relaxation response. The nervous system’s re-sponse will vary dramatically, de-pending on massage techniques and touch methods. The physical effects are especially pronounced when pressure is applied to soft body tissue. For me, a massage is all about relaxation, which brings the heart rate down, decreases my stress hormones and causes my

muscles to, well, relax. It is my way of spending some me-time.

I am very fussy when it comes to treatments. I prefer a clean, quiet spa with a relaxed ambience - one that makes my treatment a worthwhile “indulgence”, needless to say. I recently visited Camelot Spa at the Table Bay Hotel and tried their signature Hydra-Mois-ture Source Facial. My face was double cleansed and then exfoliat-ed, while a steam apparatus gently heated my face. A creamy hydrat-ing mask was applied and left to work its magic for about fifteen minutes.

The mask was then washed off, mild toner was applied to clean out any debris and then an eye cream, moisturizer and sun block was applied. The products used were all by Thalgo, which is ma-rine based and non- irritating to the skin. The results were amazing as my skin felt soft, hydrated and I could see an improvement in skin texture – very much a “worthwhile “indulgence”. This facial is suitable for all types of skin and I would definitely recommend it to every-one. All facial treatments are sixty minutes long and include facial steaming, scalp, neck and shoulder

massage. (Book at www.camelots-pa.co.za.)

Massage treatments should al-ways be customized to suite your specific needs and pressure prefer-ence. This should lead to improved circulation and enhanced delivery of oxygen and nutrients to mus-cle cells, as well as the removal of waste products and the reduction of swelling in soft tissues. Touch-ing the skin or applying pressure relaxes muscles, tendons and liga-ments.

I recently visited Relax Spa at Breakwater Lodge and tried their signature aromatherapy body mas-sage, which incorporated the use of healing therapeutic strokes. The therapist used natural oils during the massage, which left my body feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. (Book a treatment at www.relax-spas.co.za for a complete calming and soothing massage.)

There are so many benefits of body treatments and while we all need time off and a day to relax, a massage or a facial is one of the best ways to decrease the physical effects of stress, anxiety, insomnia and fatigue. Book one of these treatments and feel the physical and emotional benefits.

Experienced businesswoman, devoted food blogger, writer and freelance journalist Nida Degutiene’s ‘A Taste of Is-

rael’ is finally available for the first time in English. Hailing from Lithu-ania, Nida arrived in Israel in 2009 as the wife of the Lithuanian Ambas-sador to Israel and South Africa and immediately fell in love with Jewish food, culture and traditions.

Once she discovered that many nostalgic dishes from her childhood are actually Jewish culinary heritage, blended over centuries into Lithu-anian cuisine, she began to share this knowledge and her experience of living in Israel on her blog (www.nidoreceptai.lt).

Here Nida describes the book in her own words: “In Israel food holds a special place in Jewish life. From early morning until dawn the next day, Israelis are always nibbling on something and enjoying one an-other’s company, and on any given holiday festive tables groan under the weight of a multitude of dishes and goodies.

This book is an open door into the

kitchens of the ordinary Israeli home. It is also an invitation to explore the country’s diverse street food and offers a behind-the scene glimpse at some of its gourmet restaurants. You’ll find recipes for dishes that do much more than satisfy hunger.

They are memories and stories shared with me over the course of five years by Litvaks from Israel and South Africa, by my Israeli friends, by their mothers and their grandmoth-ers.

They reflect the traditions, his-tory and customs passed down the generations. They are an attempt at returning a piece of Jewish heritage to the small, but vibrant Jewish com-munity in Lithuania.”

‘A Taste of Israel’ describes the food through the eyes of a foreigner and non-Jew, who was lucky enough to become part of that Jewish com-munity. Chapters are divided into the usual arrangement of appetisers, starters, mains and desserts, but there are also sections on the different re-ligious festivals, as well as detailed information of what constitutes ‘ko-sher’. All the well-known classics are there, such as Gefilte fish, Knaidlach, Latkes and Challah, and more, in the 100 plus recipes, whether traditional or modern.

Over the past five years Nida has written over 300 articles covering lifestyle, travel, culinary arts, culture and business for Israeli and Lithu-anian newspapers and magazines. She currently has 30000 unique fol-lowers and boasts more than 40000 visits per month.

Let’s cook!

Chraime (fish cooked in tomato sauce)Serves 6Ashkenazi Jews from central and

Eastern Europe take great pride in their traditional gefilte fish recipes, but Sephardic Jews, hailing from the Iberian Peninsula or North Af-rica, don’t look twice at the boiled fish patties. Their culinary answer to this Ashkenazi favourite is chraime – saltwater fish stewed in a spicy, aro-matic tomato sauce. From Shabbat, through Rosh Hashanah, to Pesach, not a single Sephardic holiday is without chraime.

Ingredients:• 1 red sweet pepper• 1 yellow sweet pepper• 1 green sweet pepper• 1 bulb garlic• 1 red chilli, or to taste• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive

oil• 2 x 400g cans tomatoes in• Tomato juice• Salt• Black pepper• 1 cup boiling water• 3 tablespoons tomato paste• 1 teaspoon turmeric• 1 teaspoon ground cumin• 1 tablespoon paprika• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (op-

tional)• 1.2kg fish (e.g. yellowtail or

snoek), filleted with skin on• 1 cup chopped fresh coriander

Method:Wash the red, yellow and green pep-pers, then cut them in half. Remove the seeds and membranes and slice them into long, thin strips. Peel, then finely chop the cloves of garlic. Clean the red chilli and slice it into long, thin strips.Heat the oil in a large, deep pan. Fry the peppers, garlic and chilli, stirring, until everything softens.Add the tomatoes and tomato juice, and season with salt and pepper.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.In a small bowl, mix the boiling wa-ter and tomato paste. Add the tur-meric, cumin and both types of pa-prika. Mix well.Carefully place the fish fillets in the cooking tomato sauce, skin-side down, and cover with the tomato paste and spice mixture. The liquid should cover the fish. If not, add a little boiling water. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.Serve the fish covered in sauce and garnished with chopped coriander. Couscous, rice or fresh crusty white bread all make good accompani-ments.Extracted from ‘A Taste of Israel’ by nida Degutiene (Struik Lifestyle)
