Afrikaans Alternative, Vol. 2

Though there's a huge mainstream Afrikaans music scene, the alternative in South Africa also brims with creativity. Karen Zoid's lyrically astute, guitar-driven tracks draw on the best of grunge and acoustic rock, making her a defining act for a generation of South African music fans. At the other end of the spectrum, Snotkop's cheeky raps are backed up by pounding 4/4 beats and jagged synths.
