It’s difficult to think of a better way to describe the new Geisha Lounge other than heaven. A cliché metaphor but please hear me out.
First of all, the entrance is an beautiful iron gate guarded by a gorgeous angelic Geisha hostess on either side. I have never had the pleasure of eating at the Geisha restaurant and looking at this scene from across the road it was difficult to predict what the inside would look like. Lucky I didn’t try because it was nothing like I would have expected.
Cape Town has once again stunned me with its diverse eatery.
Cape Town City has seen cuisine knocking on its doorstep from all over the world. Fine Cuisine has taken new frontiers in Cape Town. Cape Town Alive is proud to bring you a review on the restaurant called Mesopotamia. This restaurant provides fine cuisine at its best to live entertainment, which would keep you asking for more.
Angel Luyindi, is a quiet man who brought his artistic talents to Long street, all the way from Uganda.
Angel was a painter in Uganda and after exelling in his community he decided to come to Cape Town to cash in on the thousands of tourists who come to visit the city.
Angel says "i am luckier than others because my job is my job, but it is also my passion"
Just as we are heading out a friendly guy calls us to see his brother’s work, which he assures us is truly great.
The reason we had missed him was due to the location of his work, cramped up in tight doorway, hidden from the unsuspecting shopper. The doorway is like something out of a dark horror flick. this is not a movie… this is his livelihood!!!
These paintings are a real eye catcher and it does not take me long to stare into the warped reality that is so mystically laid out on these canvases. The colours are so energised and the images really suck you in with there detail.
The artist does not really speak English, and through the aid of a translator we learn of his inspiration. He says it is all really simple, growing up in the company of an elderly friend who was a great artist, his passion was instantly fuelled.
