A new restaurant named PRONK has also been opened at the AfriForum Teater venue.Ī wide range of Afrikaans arts, artists and community and school cultural events will in future be staged at the AfriForum Teater. This 380-seater theatre is situated in the Greenlyn Village centre in Menlo Park. The best time to start building is now – even if we are still in the deadly grasp of COVID-19.ĪfriForum is therefore proud to announce that his newly established theatre, which is known as the AfriForum Teater, was opened at the venue once occupied by the Brooklyn Theatre. In fact, we are leading Afrikaans arts away from the COVID-19 road of decline. Just like the Solidarity Movement’s new Sol-Tech campus offers a place where we can ensure that Afrikaans can pull its weight in terms of tertiary education, AfriForum decided to open a theatre where Afrikaans arts can flourish. In this way, our community can establish a lasting free, safe and prosperous future for ourselves, our descendants and the Afrikaans language and culture. We will not become victims of history but will rather help to write a new future by establishing self-do institutions. Dié enkelsnit verskyn in Die Heuwels se jongste album, Volume, wat op.

This is exacerbated by the fact that Afrikaans as public language suffered a setback as a result of traditionally Afrikaans universities that became anglicised. The arts and especially Afrikaans arts are also bearing the brunt. The importance of popular music in minor cultures is briefly discussed.The COVID-19 pandemic has a negative impact on many areas. Tension between the old, well-known words of the folk songs and the new songs often develops, while the intertextual references to older songs are used to comment on current situations. A number of lyrics that either contain references to folk songs or are re-writings of folk songs, are discussed. Since the end of the 1990s, Afrikaans popular songwriters and singers showed a renewed interest in so-called FAK songs and a number of musical arrangements and re-writings of folk song lyrics have been recorded. The collection of Afrikaans folk songs known as the FAK (Federation of Afrikaans Cultural Organisations) songbook earned itself an important position in Afrikaans cultural circles, but it was also stigmatised.
