New Music of the Day, November 22:


Bouwer Bosch, "Tiekiedraai"
It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: time to listen to some Afrikaans pop music. Wikipedia tells me that "Tiekiedraai" is a village in the Limpopo province, while Google Translate tells me that the Afrikaans word "tiekiedraai" means "twirl around" in English. Well, whatever this song means--and I seriously have no idea--it definitely makes me want to twirl around. The exultant whoops, the horns, the percussion--they all add up to one of the most joyous songs I've heard all year.
