Namibia Crossings

Music Documentary,Switzerland 2004, 92 min, English/German/Afrikaans/Nama/Damara/San/Swetswana with German subtitles

A journey through a country of archaic beauty, yet full of bizarre contrasts: twelve musicians and singers from the “Hambana Sound Company“, from Namibia, Zimbabwe, Angola, Switzerland and Russia go on tour on the fringes of the Namib Desert. Time and again, they interrupt their bus journey to explore with local bands the rhythm, feeling and passion of music and hence, their own rhythms, feeling and passion. The footage shows “landscapes that appear to lie there empty, all the way to the horizon“. (Neue Zürcher Zeitung)
