friday = afrikaans music

well since i was brought up as a good old boeredogter, but became more and more english as i grew up, it is not funny that i still enjoy afrikaans music just as much as any other language!

i went to a show last night, which really blew me away, and even though it was afrikaans and you know what is sometimes said about the afrikaans music culture, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, i was pleasantly surprised.

zander held a zander & friends show at back 2 basix in melville where he gave platform to lesser known artists in order to boost them and i must say what an incredible thing to do.

i was amazed at the talent out there that none of us know about and would probably never have heard of, wasn't it for people like zander who will gladly share his stage with people he believes in.

if you have never heard of him, do yourself a favour and climb out of the comfortzone - get the cd -and a dictionary, should your matric afrikaans have left you already - and just listen - i wish i knew the stories behind the songs because his emotion shows clearly with every single note he plays - an incredible pianist, singer, songwriter and friend to his fellow artists.

great great show - if you have the chance - try and catch him live - he is a hottie!
