Khawuleza - 1966
It is one of my all time favourite Miriam Makeba songs, sung in the height of the war against apartheid- a war that she was exiled for.

Who the hell is Sheer Almshouse?
Sheer Almshouse
Kingston, Uptown, Jamaica
I am a writer, photographer, moving picture director who HAD a corporate day time job, (which made me a repressed creative). Maybe that's why I developed adult acne? I am truly an undercover artistic bum who would rather shoot documentaries and write and travel on my down time and work my arse off for my clients and my business.

Be my friend !!!
