JOSEF MARAIS & MIRANDA

Kurz-Bio von Josef Marais & Miranda:
Der Folksinger Josef Marais wurde am 17. November 1905 in Sir Lowry's Pass Village, Kap-Provinz, Südafrika, als Joseph Pessach geboren und verstarb am 27. April 1978 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien. In den Zwanzigerjahren ging er nach Europa, um klassische Violine und Viola zu studieren und tourte nach Abschluß des Studiums als Konzertgeiger durch das Konzertgeschehen Europas. Eines Tages hörte er, dass HIS MASTER'S VOICE Interpreten für Volksmusik aus Südafrika suchte und Marais, der als Südafrikaner mit dieser Musik sehr verbunden war, meldete sich bei HMV, wo er von der Geige zur Gitarre wechselte und die ersten Einspielungen machte. Er übersetzte den in Afrikaans geschriebenen Original-Text ins Englische, damit das britische Radio-Publikum den Text auch verstehen konnte und man war bei der BBC damit sehr erfolgreich. 1939 ging Marais nach New York, wo er in einer eigenen Radio-Show namens "African Trek" diese südafrikanische Folklore vorstellen konnte. Seine Bushveld Band begleitete ihn dabei. Bei dieser Tätigkeit lernte er die aus Amsterdam stammende und in die USA emigrierte Konzertpianistin Miranda, geboren am 9. Jänner 1912 in Amsterdam, Niederlande, als Rosa Lily Odette Baruch de la Pardo; verstorben am 20. April 1986 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien, kennen. Beide freundeten sich bald an und arbeiteten zusammen als Duett. 1946 wurde daraus auch ein ziviles Duett als Ehepaar.
