Tarab: Travels with My Guitar is Carl Cleves’ story of his amazing life. Cleves escaped national service in Belgium to live in South Africa at the height of the Apartheid era, and the book recounts the adventures and quests, the wanderings and narrow escapes, mishaps and illuminations of a guitar-toting troubadour in his roles as young beat poet, law student, and single father, relief worker in India and recording star in Brazil. Cleves’ page turning memoir is no simple music biography, but rather the story of an artist’s quest for Tarab: a place where music and poetry bestow true bliss upon the lucky one.

Carl will also perform songs that reflect the stories of the book. To be launched by Kavisha Mazzella.

Free. No need to book.
