　　The New Year in South Africa brings thousands of residents to the streets for a colorful minstrel (艺人) parade.Brightly-costumed marching choral groups celebrate a unique aspect of South Africa’s multiracial history.

　　Cape Town’s musical New Year’s tradition dates back more than a century,to the days when Dutch colonists brought slaves here from Southeast Asia.The slaves served as dockworkers,farm laborers and household servants.And,they were given one day off per year.

　　“This music comes from the slave culture.And the tradition started when the slaves were given off on the second of New Year.So on the second of January every year that was the free day for slaves,they would go around in the streets and march and play instruments,” said Bruinders,professor at the University of Cape Town.

　　The slaves copied European and American minstrels who visited the Cape.Eventually,a typical South African sound developed.Bruinders explains that the beat and harmonies of the music still reflect where it came from.“It’s a poor community.They don’t have new shiny instruments.It’s not perfect,they were not taught.They were all handed down from father to son,” she said.
