The year 2017 was filled with musical travels for Namibian Tales. From freezing 
Switzerland (January) to Amman Jazz Festival in Jordan (April) and performances in Germany (May). 
The Namibian Tales quartet then took to the Kalahari in June, where they teamed 
up with the four San singers to rehearse and perform together in Namibia and create 
their critically acclaimed album “Kalahari Encounters” together. 
This live recording won Best World Music Album Produced in Netherlands 2017 
by Mixed World Music and was reviewed in Folk Roots magazine. 
The quartet performed at several venues during the Shanghai World Music F
estival China (October) and gave a showcase at “Visa For Music” in Rabat, Morocco 
in November. 
In December, Shishani Vranckx & Sjahin During returned to the Kalahari to 
present the album to the ladies and continued their work archiving music from 
different San communities in collaboration with the Museums Association of 
Namibia and UNESCO. 
This year the quartet will be giving a showcase at the Seoul Music Festival in 
South Korea. 
Currently the group is preparing the CD release tour for “Kalahari Encounters” 
which will take place in Europe during the summer together with the San singers 
from the Kalahari!
