The Proudly South African Friday Post

With thanks to my sister who showed me this video - Chris Chameleon's voice is simply unbelievable!

Proudly South African Friday (with music)

Okay, with more South African music.
But hey, it's been a crazy week and I need as much music as possible to get through it!

Today's choice: "Elke man het 'n kop" (written by the great South African poet Ingrid Jonker and sung by one of my favourite artists, Chris Chameleon) - and even if you don't understand the language, check out the brilliant video.

Maandag Inspirasie: ’n vermaaklike en kreatiewe musiekvideo

’n Bietjie musiek om die litte los te maak so op die Maandag – hierdie is een van my gunsteling musiekvideos:
“Elke man het ’n kop” deur Chris Chameleon

Hierdie liedjie is van sy twee album wat getoonsette weergawes van Ingrid Jonker-gedigte bevat en dié album is beslis meer as driedubbel elke sent werd.

Monday Inspiration: Entertaining and Creative Music Video

Some foot-tapping music to start the week with – this is one of my favourite music videos:
 “Elke man het ’n kop” by Chris Chameleon

It is a poem by acclaimed Afrikaans poet Ingrid Jonker, set to music. The lyrics is:
“Elke man het ’n kop, ’n lyf en twee bene, hulle probeer jou namaak”, which can be translated as “Every man has a head, a body and two legs, they try to imitate you”.

Enjoy!

Inspiration Friday – ‘Twas almost the night before Christmas…

With Christmas around the corner (and it looks like it's going to be a sweltering one), I thought I'd add the Chris Chameleon's "Kersfees in Afrika" (Christmas in Africa) video to this post, along with two of my favourite carols - "O, Holy Night" and "What Child is This?".

May you all have a blessed weekend and a blessed Christmas! 

Mag julle almal 'n geseënde naweek en 'n geseënde Kersfees hê!
