Teen makes whale music with five instruments

A 16-year-old Hout Bay International School pupil mimicked the music of whales using five different string instruments during a solo Freedom Day performance to a packed hall at Hout Bay Museum.

Zeta-Zara “ZZ” Wanamaker, of Pinelands, played the double bass, the harp, the electric violin, the violin and the cello during the performance, which was part of a year-long school project that includes poetry, painting and storytelling and explores themes of whale conservation, female empowerment and gender violence.
