From the
Sudan to Northern New South Wales, Tarab is an epic, mesmerising tale
of high adventure and the search for meaning. Carl Cleves escapes national
service in Belgium to live in South Africa at the height of the apartheid era.
So begin the adventures and quests, wanderings and narrow escapes, mishaps and
illuminations of a guitar-toting troubadour in his roles as young beat poet,
law student, single father, relief worker in India and recording star in
Brazil. Cleves's page turning memoir is no simple music biography, but rather
the travel story of an artist's quest for tarab: a place where music
and poetry bestow true bliss upon the lucky one. It's by turns philosophical,
funny, adventurous and insightful.
Fully
revised and expanded, this new edition of Tarab
is a must read for all lovers of travel literature.
