I suppose it's technically not music since there are no instruments. And I'm sorry non-Whites are involved, but you should listen to this beautiful rendition of Die Donker.

This choir is known worldwide.

I should add that some of the most brilliant minds on this board were educated in Stellenbosch. 😎

@TFS check this out, someone put Dutch subtitles over the Afrikaans song. It's a great demonstration of how similar yet different the 2 languages are

I had a hard time understanding this, even though I appreciated the melody. Nice tune! It's much easier to understand Dutch when reading it than actually listening to it (for me at least).
