Like most people across the globe, the bulk of the employees at SXSW were obsessed with the World Cup from start to finish. Sad we couldn't witness it unfold live, we came in late and took long lunches for the month it was on TV. Most of us - except for maybe the bossman - were sad to see it end, but imagine our surprise and excitement when we saw SXSW alumni Wouter Kellerman playing his flute live at the World Cup Closing Ceremonies.
The close of the FIFA 2010 World Cup was a magnificent display of light, art and dance, and the music that accompanied it was top notch. Shakira, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Zolani from Freshly Ground, Ihashi Elimhlophe, Abigail Kubeka and many others from across Africa and the globe performed, and Wouter Kellerman, to our delight, was one of them. Making his Texas debut at SXSW 2010, Kellerman made quite a splash in world music circles.
SXSW was happy to welcome a handful of acts from South Africa and across the rest of the continent, and hope to see even more at SXSW 2011. Congratulations to Wouter Kellerman and to the nation of South Africa for a stellar World Cup Performance.

 Wouter Kellerman exudes the serene air of a yoga master. His smile is open and inviting, and he comes across as infinitely amicable and approachable. But this quiet exterior belies a tremendous energy and tenacity that lies just beneath the surface.

 Wouter Kellerman is 'n begaafde fluitspeler, maar is daarby 'n musikant wat hom komposisioneel en improvisatories oop laat vir heelparty invloede, selfs van ver buite die landsgrense. Hy is 'n wereldreisiger gewis, en in die opsig word sy eerste album geklassifiseer in die vreemde kategorie genoem "Wêreldmusiek".
