In the tradition of Buena Vista Social Club, Karoo Kitaar Blues is a rousing documentary about a group of wildly talented but utterly isolated musicians who eventually come to tour South Africa to rapturous crowds. In the Karoo, a spare and desolate swath of South Africa, tobacco farms, cattle ranches, and bare plains dominate a landscape populated by white landowners and poor, Afrikaans-speaking, colored farm workers. In their isolation, these workers evolved a unique musical style played on homemade instruments. In this film, part music documentary and part road movie, musician David Kramer seeks out the Karoos hidden artists, offering a rare glimpse into a distant social and musical world.
