 In 2001, David Kramer launched a show called "Karoo Kitaar Blues", presenting the eccentric guitar styles of the Karoo - the unique finger-picking and tunings of a marginalised people who live in remote villages and outposts of the semi-desert areas of South Africa.A quasi-documentary, the show aimed to tell the story and document a long forgotten and almost-lost part of South Africa's musical heritage, and features unknown musicians and instruments from the Northern Cape hinterland.As a direct result, one of these "forgotten" artists, Hannes Coetzee became an overnight YouTube sensation, and was invited to participate in a teaching workshop for Slide and Steel Guitar in Port Townsend, WA.
