LISTEN: Acclaimed Durban band, Gangs of Ballet, share a Heritage Day message with fans
Updated | By Chanelle Lutchman
All this week, we've been posting Heritage Day (September 24) features with KZN celebs, asking them what heritage - and their own identities - means to them. In our final feature, we chat with local band Gangs of Ballet - about how they plan on spending their Heritage Day tomorrow.
Born-and-bred Durbanites - brothers Josh and Brad Klynsmith, and Jonothan Rich - say South African music is a melting pot of different cultures, which makes our local music so unique.
Speaking ahead of Heritage Day this weekend, the band say they won't be performing - but they do intend to spend this culturally-significant day with their families, doing the most South African thing possible - having a traditional braai. (After all, it is Braai Day, too, they muse.)
For Rich, 'heritage' may be something from the past, but he also believes it's a platform for people to grow and establish a way forward as individuals - and a country.
