Die Vloek Van Die Kitaar 1979-2001

This CD compiled by Dirk Uys in March 2002, and released by EMI in May 2002, is now long out-of-print, but inspired by Marq Vas I have linked to the songs that are available to download on Rhythm Music Store.

This album collected the A to Z of Afrikaans Rock (from Akkedis to Karen Zoid) at the time, as well as most of its genres like blues, boogie, industrial, punk, hip hop, rap, reggae, metal and more.

I seem to remember Dirk telling me at the time that he would have liked to include a David Kramer  song but wasn’t able to get permission. Not sure what song it was, but I have included David Kramer’s Bokkie Bokkie as a digital bonus track.

One thought on “Die Vloek Van Die Kitaar: 18 Afrikaanse Rockers 1979-2001

  1. Hi Brian

    Do you know if the original 1980 Bokkie Bokkie is available for download? I have a bad rip from my original not very well recorded cassette mix tape I made when I emigrated from SA in the mid-80s & would like to get a better (and legal!) copy. I did buy the Bakgat version from Rhythmn some months ago but was astonished to find it wasn’t the one I had always known and didn’t like it nearly as much.
