Your starting lines could've been written about sunny South Africa .... until the part about being free from a lot of problems that plague other countries. We ARE the other country.
Funny. My husband feels the same about local music. Boere musiek. Boere dans. But then there's me. English South African and I love the afrikaaner music and dance
Yeah, it's a great shame too, I mean South Africa is such a scenic and interesting place...but it's going down the toilet little by little. It's very sad and I feel for my South African friends, like you. I would dearly like to come there and see it before it becomes somewhere I'd not want to travel.
I knew someone would come along and stick up for Australian music, and they did, but it's not like I hate it, I just don't feel the same connection to it as other music...with the exception of a few artists, some which I've mentioned.
I said this:
So I certainly didn't indicate Australian music is bad, much the opposite really. Anyway, it is what it is.
I have some South African artists in my playlist, Prime Circle for one, from Johannesburg, but am not familiar with much Afrikaaner music. Do you think I might like it?
For someone who speaks English I don't always explain myself satisfactorily. I understand that you weren't saying Australian music is horrendous. It's the same with the Afrikaaner music. It simply doesn't "do it" for my husband.
Will you like it? Hard to say. I think it could be asked of most music particular to each country. Whether it is your own or another. You either love it or don't. Afrikaans music speaks to me. My husband on the other hand - he runs away screaming
It's all good, I sort of understood. And doesn't do it is a good way to put it.
I'm going to have to look up some Afrikaans music and give it a try, I'll do so whilst eating boerewors or biltong and sucking at rugby and cricket for that full South African moment. (Ok, I'm only joking.) 😁
Yeah for biltong! I just made a batch for our visiting British resident family. As for the sucking at rugby....that's debatable
Lol...I knew you'd approve of the biltong and not so much on the rugby.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
