Soomloos is sinoniem met die Suidoosterfees en prof. Jakes Gerwel, een van die fees se stigterslede. Twintig jaar gelede, by die eerste Suidoosterfees, het hy feesgangers so verwelkom: “Soomloos – Om in Afrikaans saam te kuier met almal wat saam met ons wil kuier. Ons wil kyk of daar regtig nierassig in Afrikaans geleef, gewerk, gespeel, gepraat kan word.” Vandag gee ons steeds gestalte aan dié inspirerende boodskap en ons vier Jakes Gerwel se nalatenskap met hierdie herdenkingskonsert.

Soomloos (seamless) is synonomous with Suidoosterfees and Prof. Jakes Gerwel, one of the festival’s founding members. Twenty years ago, he welcomed the first festivalgoers at an event where people could enjoy and express themselves in Afrikaans with anyone who wanted to join them. He expressed the wish for Afrikaans people to live, work, play and speak in an inclusive, non-racial manner. Today, the festival still draws from Jakes Gerwel’s inspiring words and this concert celebrates his legacy.
