The story opens with three young boys trundling down Soweto’s dusty roads in the turbulent 60s. Armed with attitude, violins and cellos, targeted with jeers, sniggers and taunts from the locals, the Khemese brothers ventured bravely to music lessons.

Forbidden by their parents to hang out on the hostile streets, the boys cut their teeth in African choral music and took to playing those funny Euro instruments, mastering them with a natural born ease. The seed had been sown.
