 Afrikaanse musiek weerspieël die diversiteit van die Afrikaner: Sedert die tagtigerjare was daar nie alleen tradisionele Boeremusiek benewens populêre musiek (soos veral vervat in die Huisgenoot Skouspel) nie, maar ook alternatiewe strome. Waar populêre musiek (byvoorbeeld Bles Bridges, Cora Marie, Janita Claassen, Rina Hugo en Carike Keuzenkamp hulself toegespits het op die vermaaklikheidsaspek van musiek, het alternatiewe kunstenaars (byvoorbeeld Piet Botha, Bernoldus Niemand, Koos Kombuis en Johannes Kerkorrel) sosiale kommentaar gelewer op Apartheid en Afrikaneridentiteit. Belangrik in voor-1994 Afrikaanse musiek is ook kunstenaars soos Laurika Rauch, Anton Goosen, Coenie de Villiers, Lucas Maree en Koos du Plessis wat hulself beywer het vir die skryf van kwaliteit musiek en lirieke, alhoewel hulle selde direkte sosiale kommentaar gelewer het.

Ná 1994 is die Afrikaner se herontdekking van sy identiteit in sy musiek weerspieël. Die musikante van Voëlvry het meer inwaarts gekeer, groepe soos Battery9 is gestig wat Afrikaans in nuwe genres gebruik het, en Afrikaans het selfs sy eerste heavy metal-liedjie, Voice of Destruction se "J.M.S.P.", gekry (1995). Sedert 2000 het Afrikaanse musiek 'n oplewing ondervind: Groepe soos Fokofpolisiekar, K.O.B.U.S!, Insek, Straatligkinders, Jack Parow, Brasse van die Kaap en Die Antwoord het Afrikaans in 'n groter verskeidenheid musiekgenres aangewend en daardeur aangetoon dat Afrikaans 'n lewendige en nie eendimensionele taal is nie. Vertalings is ook gebruik om die interkulturele gesprek met veral Europa na die isolasie van Apartheid te hervat: Hier kan veral die Afri-Frans, Afri-Spaans en Brel-projekte genoem word.

Die anti-apartheid protesmusiek van Voëlvry is ook opgevolg met nuwe protesmusiek teen die establishment: Koos Kombuis het na 'n paar verspreide protesliedjies sy "Bloedrivier" album in 2008 vrygestel, en groepe soos Glaskas, Klopjag, Fokofpolisiekar en natuurlik Bok van Blerk het begin om protesliedjies te skryf teen wat gesien word as 'n marginalisering van die Afrikaner, asook die heersende misdaadklimaat.

 Koos du Plessis

Template:Use South African English

Jacobus (Koos) Johannes du Plessis (10 May 1945 – 15 January 1984) was a prominent South Africansinger-songwriter and poet, colloquially known as Koos Doep. Although he received critical acclaim for much of his work, he became best known for the runaway success of a rendition of his song Kinders van die Wind (Children of the Wind) by Laurika Rauch.

 Koos du Plessis was born in Rustenburg. He was the youngest of four children, and grew up in the mining town of Springs. After school, he attended the University of Pretoria, and the University of the Witwatersrand, majoring in Afrikaans-Nederlands (Afrikaans-Dutch). At university he met his future wife, Mornay. The couple had three daughters, Irma, Karien and Karla. Koos would eventually write a song for each of these four women in his life.

Koos worked as journalist and editor for several Afrikaans publications (Oggendblad, Die Vaderland, Die Nataller en Die Transvaler). He died in a car accident close to Krugersdorp during the early morning hours of 15 January 1984.

In 2010 two albums were released in The Netherlands. First Ofschaaid Zunder Woorden, an album with songs of Du Plessis sung in Grunnegs by Wia Buze and Klaas Spekken. Karla du Plessis joins for a special duet on this album. Secondly Die Land Van Blou Saffiere is released in the Tussen Kontinente-series. This release is a hardcover book with a biography, lyrics with footnotes and explanations, backgrounds and a cd with 20 of his songs.

Bles Bridges

Bles Bridges (22 July 1947, Viljoensdrif, Free State) – 24 March 2000), born Lawrence John Gabriel Bridges, was a much-loved South African singer. He became known as Bles Bridges, as his Irish grandfather called him Bles (i.e. bald), due to his very thin hair from an early age.

He released his first album in 1982, Onbekende Weermagman (Unknown Soldier). His professional career began in 1984, with the release of his second album, Bles, which went gold in under a month (25,000 copies) and included Maggie, one of his better-known songs. The album had sold twice that by the time his third album was released. At the time of his death, Bles had sold more than two and a half million albums (records and CDs).

Soon Bles Bridges began alternating between Afrikaans and English language albums, to great acclaim. He also began working with Eurovision South Africa. In 2000, he began recording an album with his friends in the music industry. The first song - a duet with Patricia Lewis (and his last song as it turned out, as he died within a week of finishing it) - was "The First Kiss Goodnight" by Dennis East; it was recorded on 21 March 2000.

 In the 1980s, he held a concert in support of the AWB Volkshulpskema (People's Help Scheme) that raised 10,000 Rand (he was there as an artist, and by personal belief).

He had cancer during the 1980s and gave generously to charity for cancer research after his recovery.

His wife

Leonie was his sound engineer and the composer and/or songwriter of most of his songs, including most of his biggest hits, including "Maggie" and "I am the Eagle, you're the Wind", among others.

He loved life and roses, and it was his custom to hand out roses to some of the female audience members in the front row at his concerts

His career highlight was when he performed to a soldout "Superbowl" at Sun City, five times on one weekend, becoming the first and only artist to do so, as feature artist on 14 and 15 May 1987. He actually managed to draw a bigger crowd than Frank Sinatra did when he opened the Superbowl in 1982.

Bles died in a motorcar accident on 24 March 2000, leaving behind his wife, Leonie, and children Sunette and Victor. More than 15,000 mourners turned up for his funeral.

Anton Goosen (born 5 March, 1946)is a South African musician and songwriter. He became a pivotal figure in Afrikaans music and is generally regarded as the father of Afrikaans Rock. His influence was not, however, limited to genre. His contribution to the music industry was much more profound as he led a continuous protest against the status quo in his music.

Early life

Coertse, born in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, matriculated at the

Helpmekaar Girls High School

in Johannesburg. She began vocal studies in South Africa in 1949.In July 1953 she married the broadcaster and composer Dawid Engela. She left South Africa in September 1953 for London, and then went via The Hague to Vienna. In January 1954 she started training with Maria Hittorff and Josef Witt.

Opera career

Coertse made her debut in January 1955 as the First Flower girl in Wagner's Parsifal at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, Karl Böhm conducting. She also sang in Basle at the Teatro San Carlo. On 17 March 1956 she made her debut at the Vienna State Opera as the Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte by Mozart and remained with the Vienna State Opera until 1978. Her Covent Garden debut was in 1956, in the same role.

Coertse sang the soprano part in Bach's Matthäus-Passion at Fritz Wunderlich's first appearance in Vienna in 1958, when he performed the tenor arias with Julius Patzak singing the Evangelist. In 1958, Coertse and Fritz Wunderlich again worked together at the Aix-en-Provence

festival in Die Zauberflöte. In 1965, she sang Konstanze in

Die Entführung aus dem Serail

at the Vienna State Opera which also featured Fritz Wunderlich as Belmonte.

Later years

Since returning to South Africa in 1973 she has been a regular guest on South African stages and also a frequent broadcaster on radio and television. In recent years she has devoted her time to exposing young South African singers to the neglected art of Lieder singing which can be artistically even more demanding than opera singing. Her support for her fellow South African musicians has been outstanding - as may be witnessed in her Debut with Mimi and through the Mimi Coertse Bursary.

In 1998 Mimi Coertse and Neels Hansen founded The Black Tie Ensemble, a development project which enables young, classically trained singers to bridge the gap between training and professional performance. This project has developed into the most exciting classical singing ensemble in South Africa, and is now on the brink of becoming a vibrant, new, young opera company. A project for future stars of Africa! The Ensemble, sponsored by Sappi, performs operas at the State Theatre (Pretoria), Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens (Johannesburg) and the Civic Theatre (Johannesburg).

Karen Zoid (born Karen Louise Greeff) is a female South African rock artist with vocal and guitar and acting talent. She is also a songwriter whose lyrics have been included in Afrikaans poetry courses at Stellenbosch University and the University of Pretoria.

On 3 May 2008 she won the South African Music Awards SAMA for Best Female Solo Artist of 2008, one of the 5 most prestigious music awards in South Africa.

Born, on 10 August 1978, in Brussels, Belgium, to a South African diplomat, Karen Zoid grew up in Belgium and then Johannesburg. She attended the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg, and then studied drama at AFDA, a film school in Johannesburg. In 2001 she dropped out of university to focus on her music.

In 2004, Karen married band member Don Reineke, and on the 29th of January 2007 the couple had a son, Ben Francis Reinecke. Zoid and Reinecke divorced in 2010.

Her first album, "Poles Apart", released by EMI in June 2001, was an instant success, especially amongst the youth of South Africa. The press started referring to the "Zoid Generation",and her icon status was highlighted in 2004 by both Time Magazine and U.S. News & World Report.

EMI released her second album, "Chasing the Sun", in June 2003, and her third, "Media" In July 2005.

In 2007 she left EMI and signed with Just Music. On 2 August 2007 her fourth album, "Postmodern World", was released. In particular her songs "Aeroplane Jane" and "Postmodern World" topped the charts at the end of 2007 in South Africa.

In 2009, Zoid released "Ultimate Zoid", a two disk album combining hits from her previous albums with three new tracks, and a live recording.

In 2010 a new album, "Terms and Conditions", was released by EMI.

She has consistently had major radio play. Her CDs have been included on the audio entertainment of international flights to and from South Africa. She has written music for television and two of her songs featured in the 2006 movie "Number 10".

Karin Zoid performed at the inaugurations of State Presidents Thabo Mbeki in 2004 and Jacob Zuma in 2009. She and her band also performed at the Nelson Mandela 46664 HIV/AIDS benefit concert in 2005. She and her band have had several concerts in London, mainly to South African audiences. In 2006 they performed in London, Canada and Dubai (at the Dubai Desert Rhythm Festival).

In 2010, Karen Zoid starred in a Franz Marx film, Susanna van Biljon. She recorded the theme song for the sound track, and a simpler version that foregrounds her voice, and replaces the orchestral backing with a simpler piano accompaniment on her "Terms and Conditions" album.

Karin Zoid became famous for a song called "Afrikaners is Plesierig" (released 2001) which is based on a fragment of an Afrikaans folksong, originally published by the Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurvereeninge in their Sangbundel.

Life and career

Beginning her career as a teenager in 1996, Nádine has released eight albums and one DVD, with two certified platinum and four more certified gold.In 1997 she toured South Africa with Dutch singer Jan Smit, when her then manager Ian Bossert brought him to the country. She also performed at the "Two Nations" concert in 1997, along with the Spice Girls and Billy Ocean, for an audience that included Nelson Mandela and Prince Charles.

 Nádine released her seventh solo album, Mense soos jy, in September 2005. Her Nádine 10 Years Live was nominated for Best DVD in the 2006 South African Music Awards (SAMA).To date, each of Nádine's albums has produced a successful song,with the latest being "Made Up My Mind".

Nádine has now released her eighth album, As Jy Wonder, produced by international songwriter and producer Steve Taylor. She wrote lyrics for many of the album's songs herself. She commented:

"For the past ten years of my career I left the songwriting to the songwriters, but I realize now that you can interpret your own material much better. I co-wrote seven songs with Steve Taylor . . . When I started recording last year it was discovered that I have nodules on my vocal cords and I had to do less shows, talk less (which was very difficult) and also change my way of speaking, laughing and of course singing. I am very grateful that that is now something of the past . . . We worked on the album for ten months and each one of the songs has a special meaning to me."

Nádine has recorded a number of hit songs, including "Dankie liewe Ouma", "Hoor hoe klop my hart", "Kom dans met my", "Latina", "’n Meisiekind wil ek graag bly", "Die Hemel Brand", "Alweer Iemand Anders", "Afrika Spore" and "Vive la Vida". Her best-known song, the ballad "Kaapse Draai", was nominated as one of the top five songs in the 2003 Geraas Musiek Toekenning (GMT) awards, which recognise Afrikaans music.She maintains a busy performance schedule with up to 120 concerts a year. After more than ten years in the South African music industry, she numbers total sales of over 350,000 CDs. In 2008, she was again nominated for the SAMA awards for the album, As Jy Wonder.

In 2010, she released her new album This Time I Know, containing the singles "This Time I Know It's For Real" and "Made Up My Mind", the latter being an English language cover of "Delete" by Younha. Her song "I Can Have You" was covered in Korean by who titled it "Mr Boogie". She has been promoting the new album within Europe over the past while, mainly in Belgium and Germany, in an attempt to expand her audience and become a more widely recognised singer.
