So slow on the uptake. Sorry people who had a bit more faith in me.
Strangely enough I was told about them by my hairdresser in NYC who has more tattoos than the stereotypical hell's angel and who also has a huge fascination with.... wait for it...
South African music.
I will not be able to repeat the only Afrikaans phrase that he knows, as it's rather.. rude to put it lightly. (courtesy of Die Antwoord)
Lots of giggles later I must admit that I do like them, they remind me of home and the very awesome sense of humour we have...
They certainly are a part of the culture, and a big part of the Afrikaans music scene. Personally, I am more of a Jack Parow fan... :-)
ReplyDelete"Zef" seems to be fashionable?!
ReplyDeleteJack Parow is awesome.
Ja, Zef can like to be on a comeback, hey...and, like, some of it is lekka kif, but other stuffs is just plein zef.
ReplyDeleteSorry... :-) Just been on Watkykjy and they are really taking the Zef thing a bit far these days, I think.
