Die Afrikaanse Musiek Draad

NZ early 80s

Geezuz, sounds 60's retro bro. 2 out of 10 (5 for trying)

60s? Check your ears. I doubt you’ve heard the Pearl Jam cover of this either?

Shit effort. Don't like it.

[Mr Bungle]

This Dutchy must be huge in SA. He sounds very influential to C grade Afrikaans pop.

It's terrible bro. Shit video too.

We don't listen to Dutch music at all in SA but that you won't know.

Someone asked him to post links Fangle. But he definitely has a bee in his bonnet about Afrikaans music. Music that's not in English or when it is it's not sung by someone who grew up speaking English. Afrikaans music was never meant for an international market, never will be. How meany Norwegian singers are in the world top 20 or Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese fokon Mexican. If they make music in their native language it's probably not meant for the whole world.

Of course he does and you are right for some mucic in another language will always be shit. A song consists of lyrics and melody so if you don't understand the language half thew appeal may be lost. Still waiting for his quality NZ productions though..................

[Mr Bungle]

It’s not about top of the charts. There is quality traditional Portuguese, Mexican and Japanese music. Afrikaans has a soft porn vibe to it.

Fokof Stef Bos is great.

Great talent around the world (except for NZ it seems) but we tend to see just the English shit on the international stage. I remember the world idols competition when all the winners of different countries competed. A guy from Norway (I think) won. Kelly Clarkson was second and SA's Heinz Winckler (yes, an Afrikaans singer Mr. Bungle) was fourth. Winckler is not even one of our top Afrkaans singers.

Kak in Hollands, okay in Afrkaans.

Who’s this comedian?

He is very popular among the Afrikaans community. Very cheesy music.

[Big Nipper]

Good thing Afrikaners are bloody good rugby players, because I can comfortably say Afrikaans music is the worst on the fucking planet. So bereft of any ideas, so dire in its execution, so common it makes my ears bleed

[Chilli]

Possibly my favorite Afrikaans song

It’s fitting that the C grade music is matched by the C grade video production. It’s incredible how far behind you are in quality of music and production values from a tiny country like NZ. That song is 10 years old, but the video makes it seem like the 80s.

Are you not just a bundle of joy today.

[average joe]

Bungle I like all the music you posted, it's great man, but it's not in Afrikaans. Do you perhaps have something a bit more not English, perhaps something that's in Maori.

I had the misfortune of hearing him sing live once and the man cant hold a note to safe his life. His albums are auto tuned to death and it's still eiters kak.

Did you know how huge this guy is on the Belgium disco scene? Meisie meisie was vokken huge over there. Kaptein is one of his kakker songs in my opinion. Loslappie is popular even in the black community.

Ah yes, the Belgian disco music scene, the defining source of music the world over.

Seriously, I think it's a pile of steaming kak. I agree with you, need some Maori music to up the ante. I only know one Maori song, it was on a 1995 RWC CD. It goes something like: hurry hurry hoo, hurry hurry hurry haaaaaa.... I think it's a Maori love song.

Your favourite SA music. Doo be do be da..... Push me to the floor...Colour, colour....? Jirre, there is some kak English music in this country.

[average joe]

Thanks will listen to it later. Cant play vids on work comp. They'll chuck me in the gulag if I do.

Oh my gawd What is that Maori love song I mentioned in my thread? Very nice Hawaiian ring to that one.

Some raw talent

Mr Bungle. Some of my fellow countrymen have a shitty taste in music, but I feel it as a tad bit disrespectful of you to look down on them. Yes, it sounds like a cat being strangled with a techno beat, and yes the videos contain guys with no rhythm and extremely questionable hairstyles, but they are a part of of South African culture. What will America be without it's hillbillies? South Africa without it's kommin people, will just not be South Africa. Shame on you, sir.

Kak man, you are uninformed. It's better and more vibrant than South African English music these days. Geezuz, that's vokken shit. Fuckall talent on the South African English scene.

It's all subjective, isn't it. Just because it's English does not make it cool. There is some terrible English music, especially SA English music.

Stem 100% saam. Jy kry goeie Afrikaanse musiek, en dan kry jy die kak wat jy in hierdie thread gepost het.

Wat is jou "goeie" Afrikaanse musiek?

[handyman]

On Kurt Darren : his songs are mostly kak, but people in SA love it, so he won't change a thing. He is laughing all the way to the bank.

Globus mode activated - Met him once, asked him about Kaptein. He said he wanted to gag every time people demanded the song, but he has to sing it.

Agreed. Personally I think Kaptein is a kak song. He does have some lekker dance songs though.

[Amethyst]

I think this is the Maori song I was looking for. Quality of production very NZ like (as in shit).

[Blake]

Big Nipper, since you're a dad now, maybe you'll feel this song in 2 years or so

I'm not a fan, but each to his own. From the top of my head, I like Karen Zoid, Adam Tas, Heuwels Fantasties.

[Lemoentjie]

Wat dink julle van die song vanaf 3:50? Nog nooit van die girl gehoor nie.

3:50 is a highlight, you're right. But not for the singing

I think she's quite good. Nice, husky voice.
