Topic: Afrikaans folk songs? Posted: 03-Jun-2008 at 02:37 |
Just curious does anyone else on here like to listen to Afrikaans folk songs.
My favorite is arguably the controversial song Delarey by Bok van Blerk

I listen to them a bit due to the entertaining political situations there and the close similarity to English.
Linguistically, listening to Afrikaans helps me keep track of non-English grammer.
The tunes are often much nicer than you get in American pop music as well.
Delarey is a fascinating song politically, someone should write a detailed paper on it (yes, I know there have been a few articles but most of them are short and by Afrikaaners or other South Africans).

Human error is a certainty, the location of it is not.
