Although he was born in D’Kar, Xgara spent his childhood on different farms in the area. Growing older, he worked as a farm labourer putting up fences. Apart from his artistic talent Xgara is also a good musician and traditional dancer. He loves the traditional music of his people and is a talented thumb piano player. On the farms he learned to play the guitar and even played in a group providing music for dancing during New Year’s parties on the large free hold farms in past years. In 1997 he returned to D’Kar where he became a member of the Naro Giraffe Dance Group, a traditional dance group performing in D’Kar and for tourists in the area. Over the past years, he got several prizes for his music in the regional competitions for the Ghanzi district. In 2018 he got the chance he was waiting for, when he was accepted as an artist in the Kuru Art Project. He feels that he has to learn a lot more as an artist although his work displays great originality and promise. He took part in the exhibition “Off Elands and giraffes and helicopters and tea cups …………… and the first peoples of the Kalahari” in November 2018.
