Afrikaans music video breaks records on Facebook
Updated | By Charis Coleman
The popular artist, André Venter, made Afrikaans music history last week by releasing his latest music video on Facebook only, forgoing traditional channels like Youtube and iTunes.
André Venter and fellow Afrikaans artist Andriëtte Norman’s duet, Tot Oneindig Einde Kry, was released on Wednesday morning for the first time on André’s Facebook page.
This music video was viewed an impressive 63 000 times by Facebook users and fans, all within 24 hours. The video has now been shared more than 3 000 times.
The music video arrives after André publicly invited Andriëtte to record a duet with him. She shared a video of the event on her Facebook page, and her fans’ reaction prompted her to take Andre up on his offer.
André is in awe of Andriëtte’s voice and this was one of the contributing factors behind his desire to record a duet with her. He believes her voice is unique, and that it is one of the best voices he has ever performed alongside, international or local.
“I felt that our voices would go well together and the recording proves this”, Venter says.
He continues: “Andriëtte is also very musical and this led to the success of this song! Obviously, I also feel that she, like me, attaches a deeper meaning to her career.”
TOT ONEINDIG EINDE KRYTot oneindig einde kry ... wanneer is dit? Die antwoord is eenvoudig: daar is nie 'n einde nie. Ek nooi julle uit om saam my hierdie reis aan te pak. Die storie van my loopbaan wat ek absoluut in my hart glo ewigheidswaarde gaan hê, selfs al is ek nie meer hier nie. Op hierdie oomblik in tyd is ek 'n saadjie onder die grond en die son se strale breek saggies deur. Die boom is besig om te groei en hy gaan vrug dra, die vrugte wat hy bestem is om te dra.Mense praat van famous wees, suksesvol wees. Hoe meet ons dit regtig? Ek wil mense aanraak met my stem en met die musiek wat ek maak, orals waar ek kom, tot oneindig einde kry ...Hier is 'n voorsmakie van wat wag. Dankie Andriette Norman dat jy jou talent ook met my en almal deel wat hierdie video gaan kyk en share. Ek glo dat die lied die mooiste boodskap dra en dat almal van ons dit sal uitleef!
