Afrikaans is back baby!
I dont care what any of you guys say, i still say, Karen Zoid is one of the biggest reasons that afrikaans music is where it is today. Take me for instance, i USED to HATE afrikaans music, remember how i used to cringe when my mom and dad listened it over weekends, or driving on our way to holiday...it was disgusting! Made the road seem so much longer than it actually was, and i am saying this, knowing that i am an afrikaner, but still, i would rather do homework than listen to Sonja Herholdt, or whoever.....The afrikaans bands of today are be"f*k" I love it, if you look at statistics, you'll find that national afrikaans bands are selling much more than english ones....afrikaans is the new "english" LOL dont mean to upset anybody by saying that...but come on guys, a few years ago afrikaans was dying out, and look at it now!! Karen's lyrics as well, are awesome, some of the songs she may have lost the plot a bit, but most of them are excellent! Especially the ones from her new cd "media" Another band that has all my respect is "Klopjag" now i know most people dont even know them, but they are absolutely without question, a local band that is going to go far, maybe even further than "Just Jinger" went a few years ago, they have already been overseas, to perform a few gigs there. John Henry is my favourite guy in "klopjag" hes the skinny guy, that wears glasses, that looks like a half "china-man" if you appreciate your afrikaans music, go out and buy their latest cd, Klopjag 3, i can assure you, you wont be disappointed guys! Afrikaans is coming back!

Yes Afrikaans is great. Not my best Music but ja love it. Got hunderds of afrikaans songs and love listenning to it.

MK89 on DSTV should be banned!
Never before have I seen such a load off toss wanna-be Afrikaner boer seuns trying to look American.
Lets not even get into how obviously MK89 is a rip off of MTV.
And Karen Zoid??? Blegh, coming from Stellenbosch the change to ultra hard core bitch chick is rather lame.
Stick to tassies and folk songs girl! woohooo :-)
