A collection
like
this
is essential
in encapsulating
decades
of music,
in this
case
Afrikaans
hits
which
made
an impact
in the
South
African
musical
environment.
While
it compiles
a range
of songs
professed
to be
great
all-round,
it is
in fact
a give-and-take
document
of good,
bad
and
embarrassing,
as well
as classic
and
unmentionable,
shmaltzy
and
lame
comedy
songs.
To a
great
extent
this
is also
very
much
bound
to a
single
record
company,
so there
may
be some
songs
one
would've
expected
to be
included,
but
aren't.
It is
also
focused
on the
more
accessible
adult
contemporary
and
pop
market,
so don't
expect
any
K.O.B.U.S.,
Battery
9, Fokofpolisiekar,
or even
early
Koos
Kombuis
and
Johannes
Kerkorrel.
So,
legends
of yesteryear
include
Ge Korsten,
Min
Shaw,
Sias
Reineke
(solo
and
with
Groep
Twee),
Acapella
Koor,
Gert
Potgieter,
and
Leonore
Veenenmans.
Then
there
are
the
Afrikaans
stars
rising
in the
late-'70s
and
-'80s,
like
Bles
Bridges,
Anneli
Van
Rooyen,
Anton
Goosen,
Sonja
Heroldt,
Laurika
Rauch,
Lucas
Maree,
Carike
Keuzenkamp,
Rina
Hugo,
Steve
Hofmeyr,
Johan
Stemmet,
Cora
Marie,
Danie
Botha,
Die
Troebadoer,
Kupido,
Leon
Schuster,
Herbie
&
Spence,
Danie
Niehaus,
and
Glenys
Lynne.
More
recent
names
on the
scene
include
Dozi,
Theuns
Jordaan,
Nadine,
Arno
Jordaan,
and
Amor.
Many
of these
performers
get
multiple
entries.
