This year marks a significant milestone for poet Philip Myburgh as he collaborates with several acclaimed singer-songwriters to bring his long-held dream to life. A passionate music lover and fervent supporter of local talent, Myburgh has transitioned from poet to songwriter, embarking on a journey to release a series of songs in multiple languages throughout 2024.

The Poignant Collaboration 'Klaaglied'

She is joined by Jonny Blundell on guitars, Schalk Joubert on bass guitar, Ariella Caira on cello, and Vinnie Enrico on drums, creating a rich and haunting musical experience.

The song was inspired by Myburgh's poem Lamentation:
