But with a little brainstorming, they don’t have to be. Instead, you can turn boring into a wonderful time of fun, learning and adventure! Growing up my parents didn’t allow “boredom”. Any time I even acted sort of bored they would “find something for me to do!”(some of the most terrifying words to a child!) As a result, I never developed an aptitude for boredom… at least not that I would admit! This list has grown out of many of those early boredom busters.

Famous female singers were Marlene Dietrich and Hildegard Knef . German electronic music gained global influence, with Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream being pioneer groups in this genre. The electro and techno scene is internationally popular, namely due to the DJs Paul van Dyk , Scooter and Cascada . Germany hosts many large rock music festivals . The Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festival is among the largest in the world. Since around 1990, the new-old German capital Berlin has developed a diverse music and entertainment industry. Minnesingers and Meistersingers (Man and Woman) The beginning of what is now considered German music could be traced back to the 12th-century compositions of mystic abbess Hildegard of Bingen , who wrote a variety of hymns and other kinds of Christian music . After Latin-language religious music had dominated for centuries, in the 12th century to the 14th centuries, Minnesinger (love poets), singing in German, spread across Germany. Minnesinger were aristocrats, traveling from court to court, who had become musicians, and their work left behind a vast body of literature, Minnelieder. The following two centuries saw the Minnesinger replaced by middle-class Meistersinger , who were often master craftsmen in their main profession, whose music was much more formalized and rule-based than that of the Minnesinger. Minnesinger and Meistersinger could be considered parallels of French troubadours and trouvère . Among the Minnesinger, Hermann, a monk from Salzburg , deserves special note. He incorporated folk styles from the Alpine regions in his compositions. He made some primitive forays into polyphony as well. Walther von der Vogelweide and Reinmar von Hagenau are probably the most famous minnesingers from this period. Classical music of Germany Germans have played a leading role in the development of classical music . Many of the best classical musicians such as Bach, Händel, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Wagner, Mahler, or Schoenberg (a lineage labeled the "German Stem" by Igor Stravinsky ) were German. At the beginning of the 15th century, German classical music was revolutionized by Oswald von Wolkenstein , who travelled across Europe learning about classical traditions, spending time in countries like France and Italy. He brought back some techniques and styles to his homeland, and within a hundred years, Germany had begun producing composers renowned across the continent. Among the first of these composers was the organist Conrad Paumann . The largest summer festival for classical music in Germany is the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival . Chorale Main article: Chorale Beginning in the 16th century, polyphony , or the intertwining of multiple melodies , arrived in Germany. Protestant chorales predominated; in contrast to Catholic music, chorale was vibrant and energetic. Composers included Dieterich Buxtehude , Heinrich Schütz and Martin Luther , leader of the Protestant Reformation . Luther happened to accompany his sung hymns with a lute, later recreated as the waldzither that became a national instrument of Germany in the 20th century. Opera Main article: German opera W. A. Mozart , 1777 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 's Die Zauberflöte (1791) is usually said to be the beginning of German opera . An earlier starting date for German opera, however, could be Heinrich Schütz 's Dafne from 1627. Schütz is said to be the first great German composer before Johann Sebastian Bach , and was a major figure in 17th-century music. In the 19th century, two figures were paramount in German opera: Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner . Wagner introduced devices like the Leitmotiv , a musical theme which recurs for important characters or ideas. Wagner (and Weber) based his operas of German history and folklore, most importantly including the Ring of the Nibelung (1874). Into the 20th century, opera composers included Richard Strauss (Der Rosenkavalier ) and Engelbert Humperdinck , who wrote operas meant for young audiences. Across the border in Austria, Arnold Schoenberg innovated a form of twelve-tone music that used rhythm and dissonance instead of traditional melodies and harmonies, while Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht collaborated on some of the great works of German theater, including Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny and The Three-Penny Opera . Following the war, German composers like Karlheinz Stockhausen and Hans Werner Henze began experimenting electronic sounds in classical music. Germany is also very well known for its many subsidised opera houses , such as Semperoper , Munich State Theatre and the Bayreuth Festspielhaus . Baroque period Main article: Baroque music J. S. Bach Baroque music, which was the first music to use tonality in the modern sense, is also known for its ornamentation and artistic use of counterpoint . It originated in Northern Italy at the end of the 16th century, and the style migrated quickly to Germany, which was one of the most active centers of early Baroque music. Early German Baroque composers included Heinrich Schütz , Michael Praetorius , Johann Hermann Schein , and Samuel Scheidt . The culmination of the Baroque era was undoubtedly in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Friedrich Händel in the first half of the 18th century. Bach established German styles through his skill in counterpoint , harmonic and motivic organisation, and adapted rhythms, forms, and textures from Italy and France. Bach wrote numerous works, including preludes , cantatas , fugues , concertos for harpsichord, violin and wind, orchestral suites, the Brandenburg Concertos , St Matthew Passion , St John Passion and the Christmas Oratorio . Händel was a cosmopolitan composer that wrote music for virtually every genre of his time. His most famous works include the orchestral suites Water Music , Music for the Royal Fireworks and the oratorio Messiah . Another important composer was Georg Philipp Telemann , one of the most prolific musicians in history. Classical era By the middle of the 18th century, the cities of Vienna , Dresden , Berlin and Mannheim had become the center for orchestral music. The Esterházy princes of Vienna, for example, were the patrons of Joseph Haydn , an Austrian who invented the classic format of the string quartet , symphony and sonata . Later that century, Vienna's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart emerged, mixing German and Italian traditions into his own style. Mozart was a prolific and influential composer who composed over 600 works , many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic , concertante , chamber , operatic , and choral music. He is among the most popular of classical composers, and his influence on subsequent Western art music is profound; Ludwig van Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart. Romantic era Main articles: Romantic music and lieder Robert Schumann Carl Maria von Weber Johannes Brahms Richard Wagner Franz Schubert The following century saw two major German composers come to fame early—Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert . Beethoven, a student of Haydn's in Vienna, used unusually daring harmonies and rhythm and composed numerous pieces for piano , violin , symphonies , chamber music , string quartets and an opera . Schubert created a field of artistic, romantic poetry and music called lied ; his lieder cycles included Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise . Franz Schubert was extremely prolific during his lifetime. His output consists of over six hundred secular vocal works (mainly Lieder ), seven complete symphonies , sacred music, operas , incidental music and a large body of chamber and piano music. He is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical era and early Romantic era. Early in the 19th century, a composer by the name of Richard Wagner was born. He was a "Musician of the Future" who disliked the strict traditionalist styles of music. He is credited with developing leitmotivs which were simple recurring themes found in his operas. Carl Maria von Weber was a composer , conductor , pianist , guitarist [6] and critic , one of the first significant composers of the Romantic school. His operas Der Freischütz , Euryanthe and Oberon greatly influenced the development of the Romantic opera in Germany. Felix Mendelssohn was a composer, pianist, organist and conductor of the early Romantic period. He was particularly well received in Britain as a composer, conductor and soloist. He wrote symphonies , concerti , oratorios , piano music and chamber music . Robert Schumann was a composer and influential music critic. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era. Schumann's published compositions were written exclusively for the piano until 1840; he later composed works for piano and orchestra; many Lieder (songs for voice and piano); four symphonies ; an opera; and other orchestral, choral , and chamber works. Johannes Brahms honored the music pioneered by Mozart and Beethoven and advanced his music into a Romantic idiom , in the process creating bold new approaches to harmony and melody. The later 19th century saw Vienna continue its elevated position in European classical music, as well as a burst of popularity with Viennese waltzes . These were composed by people like Johann Strauss the Younger . Richard Strauss was a leading composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras. He is known for his operas , which include Der Rosenkavalier and Salome ; his lieder , especially his Four Last Songs ; and his tone poems . Strauss, along with Gustav Mahler , represents the late flowering of German Romanticism after Richard Wagner , in which pioneering subtleties of orchestration are combined with an advanced harmonic style. 20th century Further information: Music in Nazi Germany Paul Hindemith Carl Orff The first half of 20th century saw a split between German and Austrian music. In Vienna, Arnold Schoenberg and his pupils Alban Berg and Anton Webern moved along an increasingly avant-garde path, pioneering atonal music in 1909 and twelve-tone music in 1923. Meanwhile, composers in Berlin took a more populist route, from the cabaret-like socialist operas of Kurt Weill to the Gebrauchsmusik of Paul Hindemith . In Munich there was also Carl Orff , who was influenced by the French Impressionist composer Claude Debussy . He began to use colorful, unusual combinations of instruments in his orchestration . His most popular work is Carmina Burana . Many composers emigrated to the United States when the Nazi Party came to power, including Schoenberg, Hindemith, and Erich Korngold . During this period, the Nazi Party embarked on a campaign to rid Germany of so-called degenerate art , which became a catch-all phrase that included music with any link to Jews, Communists, jazz, and anything else thought to be dangerous. Some figures such as Karl Amadeus Hartmann remained defiantly in Germany during the years of Nazi dominance, continually watchful of how their output might be interpreted by the authorities. After the defeat of Nazi Germany , musicians were also subjected to the Allied policy of denazification . But here, the supposed non-political nature of music was able to excuse many, including Wilhelm Furtwängler and Herbert von Karajan (who had actually joined the Nazi Party in 1933). They both claimed to have concentrated mainly on music and to have ignored politics, but also to have conducted pieces in ways that were meant to be "gestures of defiance." In West Germany in the second half of the 20th century, German and Austrian music was largely dominated by the avant-garde. In the 60s and 70s, the Darmstadt New Music Summer School was a major center of European modernism; German composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen and Hans Werner Henze and non-German ones such as Pierre Boulez and Luciano Berio all studied there. In contrast, composers in East Germany were advised to avoid the avant-garde and to compose music in keeping with the tenets of Socialist Realism . Music written in this style was supposed to advance party politics as well as be more accessible to all.Hanns Eisler and Ernst Hermann Meyer were among the most famous of the first generation of GDR composers. More recently, composers such as Helmut Lachenmann and Olga Neuwirth have extensively explored the possibilities of extended techniques . Hans Werner Henze largely dissociated himself from the Darmstadt school in favour of a more lyrical approach, and remains perhaps Germany's most lauded contemporary composer. Although he had lived outside the country since the 1950s and until his death in 2012, he remained influenced by the Germanic musical tradition. Folk music Germany has many unique regions with their own folk traditions of music and dance. Much of the 20th century saw German culture appropriated for the ruling powers (who fought "foreign" music at the same time). Heino is a Schlager and Volksmusik singer. In both East and West Germany, folk songs called "volkslieder" were taught to children; these were popular, sunny and optimistic, and had little relation to authentic German folk traditions. Inspired by American and English roots revivals , Germany underwent many of the same changes following the 1968 student revolution in West Germany, and new songs, featuring political activism and realistic joy, sadness and passion, were written and performed on the burgeoning folk scene. In East Germany, the same process did not begin until the mid-70s, where some folk musicians began incorporating revolutionary ideas in coded songs. Popular folk songs included emigration songs from the 19th century, work songs and songs of apprentices, as well as democracy-oriented folk songs collected in the 1950s by Wolfgang Steinitz . Beginning in 1970, the Festival des politischen Liedes, an East German festival focusing on political songs, was held annually and organized (until 1980) by the FDJ (East German youth association). Musicians from up to thirty countries would participate, and, for many East Germans, it was the only exposure possible to foreign music. Among foreign musicians at the festival, some were quite renowned, including Inti-Illimani (Chile ), Billy Bragg (England), Dick Gaughan (Scotland ), Mercedes Sosa (Argentina ) and Pete Seeger (United States), while German performers included, from both East and West, Oktoberklub, Wacholder and Hannes Wader . Oom-pah is a kind of music played by the brass bands ; it is associated with beer halls . Bavaria and Swabia Bavarian folk music is likely the best known outside of Germany. Yodeling and schuhplattler dancers are among the stereotyped images of German folk life, though these are only found today in the southernmost areas. Bavarian folk music has played a role in the Alpine New Wave, and produced several pioneering world music groups that fuse traditional Bavarian sounds with foreign styles. Around the turn of the 20th century, across Europe and especially in Bavaria, many people became concerned about a loss of cultural traditions. This idea was connected to the Heimatschutz movement, which sought to protect regional identities and boundaries. What is considered Bavarian folk music in modern Germany is not the same as what Bavarian folk music was in the early 20th century; like any kind of folk or popular music, styles and traditions have evolved over time, giving birth to new forms of music. The popularity of the Volkssänger (people's singer) in Bavaria began in the 1880s, and continued in earnest until the 1920s. Shows consisting of duets, ensemble songs, humor and parodies were popular, but the format began changing significantly following World War I. Bally Prell , the "Beauty Queen of Schneizlreuth ", was emblematic of this change. She was an attractive tenor who sang lieder , chanson and opera and operetta . Swabian folk music is most popularly represented by acts like Saiten Fell and Firlefanz and the singer-songwriter (and player of the hurdy-gurdy and guitar ) Thomas Felder. Christmas carols Some Christmas carols familiar in English are translations of German Christmas songs (Weihnachtslieder). Pastoral Weihnachtslieder are sometimes called Hirtenlieder (shepherd songs). Three well-known examples are "O Tannenbaum " ("O Christmas Tree"), from a German folksong arranged by Ernst Anschütz ; "Silent Night " ("Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht"), by the Austrians Franz Xaver Gruber and Joseph Mohr ; and "Still, still, still ", an Austrian folksong also from the Salzburg region, based on an 1819 melody by Süss, with the original words, slightly changed over time and location, by G. Götsch. Early popular music Marlene Dietrich Between World War I and World War II, German music branched out to form new, more liberal and independent styles. Main articles: Cabaret and Kabarett The first form of German pop music is said to be cabaret , which arose during the Weimar Republic in the 1920s as the sensual music of late-night clubs. Marlene Dietrich and Margo Lion were among the most famous performers of the period, and became associated with both humorous satire and liberal ideas. Swing Movement Main article: Swing Movement in Nazi Germany The strict regimentation of youth culture in Nazi Germany through the Hitler Youth led to the emergence of several underground protest movements, through which adolescents were able better to exert their independence. One of these consisted mainly of upper middle class youths, who based their protest on their musical preferences, rejecting the völkisch music propagated by the Party in place of American jazz forms, especially Swing . While musical preferences are often a feature of youthful rebellion—as the history of rock and roll shows—jazz and especially Swing were particularly offensive to the Nazi hierarchy: not only did they promote sexual permissiveness, but they were also associated with the American enemy and worse, with the African race they considered inferior. On the other hand, Joseph Goebbels assembled some of the now jobless musicians from Germany and conquered countries into a big band called Charlie and His Orchestra . Popular music from West Germany After World War II, German pop music was greatly influenced by music from USA and Great Britain. Apart from Schlager and Liedermacher, it is necessary to distinguish between pop music in West Germany and pop music in East Germany which developed in different directions. Pop music from West Germany was often heard in East Germany, had more variety and is still present today, while East German music has had little influence. In West Germany, English-language pop music became more and more important, and today most songs on the radio are English. Nevertheless, there is great diversity in German language pop music. There is also original English-language pop music from Germany, some having international success (for instance the Scorpions and James Last ), but little with enduring broad success in Germany itself. There was very little English pop music from East Germany. Germany has also had a thriving English-language pop scene since the end of the war, with several European and US acts topping the charts. However, Germans and German-oriented musicians have been successful as well. In the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century such European pop acts were popular as well as artists such as Sarah Connor , No Angels and Monrose who performed various types of mainstream pop in English. Many of these acts have had success all over Europe and Asia. Schlager and Volksmusik Main articles: Schlager and Volkstümliche Musik Schlager is a kind of vocal pop music, frequently in the form of sentimental ballads sung in German, popularized by singers such as Gitte Hænning and Rex Gildo in the 1960s, though not without a wide range within the style (Modern Schlager, Schlager-Gold, Volksmusik resp. "volkstümlicher Schlager". Schlager/Volksmusik is strictly separated from international pop music and is only played on special format radio stations (sometimes mixed with international Oldies ). An important part of Schlager is volkstümliche Musik , a Schlager-like interpretation of traditional German folk themes that is very popular in German-speaking countries, especially among the older generation. Schlager has a wide variety, and the artists with many other styles, for example: Heino , Katja Ebstein , Wolfgang Petry , Guildo Horn , Roland Kaiser , Helene Fischer and many others. Liedermacher Liedermacher (Songwriter) has sophisticated lyrics and is sung with minimal instrumentation, for instance only with acoustic guitar. Some songs are very political in nature. This is related to American Folk/Americana and French Chanson styles. Famous West German Liedermacher are Reinhard Mey , Klaus Hoffmann , Hannes Wader and Konstantin Wecker . A famous East German Liedermacher was Wolf Biermann . Herman van Veen from the Netherlands was also very popular in Germany. Several Liedermacher artists also record special albums for children. Rock Die Toten Hosen Main article: Rock music in Germany The US military radio station American Forces Network (AFN) had a great impact on German postwar culture, starting with AFN Munich in July 1945, which was formative for the further development of German rock and jazz culture. Bill Ramsey , a senior producer at AFN Frankfurt in 1953 who came from Ohio , later became famous as a jazz and Schlager singer in Germany (while remaining almost unknown in the US). Prior to the late 1960s however, rock music in Germany was a negligible part of the schlager genre covered by interpreters such as Peter Kraus and Ted Herold , who played rock 'n' roll standards by Little Richard or Bill Haley, sometimes translated into German. Genuine German rock first appeared around 1968, just as the hippie countercultural explosion was peaking in the US and UK. At the time, the German musical avant-garde had been experimenting with electronic music for more than a decade, and the first German rock bands fused psychedelic rock from abroad with electronic sounds. The next few years saw the formation of a group of bands that came to be known as Krautrock or Kosmische Musik groups; these included Amon Düül , who later became the world music pioneers Dissidenten , Tangerine Dream , Popol Vuh , Can , Neu! and Faust . Neue Deutsche Welle Nena Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) is an outgrowth of British punk rock and new wave which appeared in the mid-to late 1970s. It was arguably the first successful unique German form of Pop music, but was limited in its stylistic devices (funny lyrics and surreal composition and production). Though it was a huge success in Germany itself in the 1980s, this was not long-lasting mostly due to over-commercialization. Some artists became famous internationally like Nena , Trio , Falco (from Austria) and Joachim Witt . Popular artists In the 1980s and 1990s most German-language popular music was sung by male solo artists. Very popular singers are Udo Jürgens , Udo Lindenberg , Herbert Grönemeyer , Marius Müller-Westernhagen , Peter Maffay and BAP . Udo Jürgens has maintained a large following since the late 60s and still sold out entire soccer stadiums during concerts in 2012. Grönemeyer also has managed to maintain his success up to today. Maffay developed from Schlager to rock and has a large but delimited fan base—he is seldom played on the radio. BAP, who sing in Kölsch , the dialect of their hometown Cologne , enjoy success nationwide. Hamburger Schule Hamburger Schule (School of Hamburg) is an underground music-movement that started in the late 1980s and was still active till around the mid-1990s. It has similar traditions as Neue Deutsche Welle and mixed all that with punk , grunge and experimental pop music . Hamburger Schule includes intellectual lyrics with postmodern theories and social criticism. Important artists are Blumfeld , Die Sterne , Die Goldenen Zitronen and Tocotronic . Popular music from East Germany By the early 1970s, experimental West German rock styles had crossed the border into East Germany and influenced the creation of an East German rock movement referred to as Ostrock. On the other side of the Iron Curtain , these bands tended to be stylistically more conservative than in the West, to have more reserved engineering, and often to include more classical and traditional structures (such as those developed by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht in their 1920s Berlin theater songs). These groups often featured poetic lyrics loaded with indirect double-meanings and deeply philosophical challenges to the status quo. As such, they were a style of Krautrock . The best-known of these bands were The Puhdys , Karat , City , Stern-Combo Meißen and Silly . Only a few individual songs, such as "Am Fenster" by City and "Über sieben Brücken mußt Du geh'n" by Karat , found wide popularity outside the GDR . There was also a wide diversity of underground bands. Out of this scene later grew the internationally successful band Rammstein (see Neue Deutsche Härte below). Popular music from reunified Germany Modern popular music Silbermond at the Donauinselfest 2009 In the 1990s, German-language groups had only limited popularity, and only a few artists managed to be played on the radio, for example Nena , Herbert Grönemeyer , Marius Müller-Westernhagen , Die Ärzte , Rammstein , Rosenstolz or Die Prinzen . In the mid-2000s the German band Wir sind Helden found success with a new style of German-language pop-rock . This success was followed by several other bands and artists that led to a new boom of German-language music and a broader acceptance of existing German-language recording artists, such as: Sportfreunde Stiller Juli Silbermond Kraftklub Klee MIA. Polarkreis 18 2raumwohnung Revolverheld Annett Louisan Tim Bendzko Andreas Bourani Mark Forster Philipp Poisel Indie and alternative rock Popular anglophone alternative rock and crossover bands from Germany that managed to find success domestic and abroad include Beatsteaks , Donots , Blackmail , Reamonn , Saline Grace , H-Blockx , Itchy Poopzkid , Guano Apes and Die Happy .

German hip hop "started out as a transnational youth subculture. The commercial success started in 1992 with the hit "Die Da" from Die Fantastischen Vier from Stuttgart . The Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt tried to establish a "gangster" rap. An early influential group was Advanced Chemistry including Torch . They sparked an interest in speaking out for the immigrants and used rap as a way to defend themselves.Fettes Brot from Hamburg, has been successful since their beginning. They sing about funny topics, such as infidelity and boasting about their prowess with women. Whereas hip hop had a peak of success in the early first decade of the 21st century, gangster rap became a controversial part of German music and youth culture just as late as 2004 with Aggro Berlin . Some of Germany's hip hop artists are: Cro , Kool Savas , Sido , Samy Deluxe , Bushido , Marteria , Eko Fresh , Bonez MC , Gzuz , Samra , Capital Bra , Trettmann , and Afrob . Gzuz gained recognition worldwide after two of his music videos were posted by Worldstar Hip Hop on YouTube . Punk Punk music in Germany has a long and diverse history. When bands like the Sex Pistols and The Clash became popular in West Germany, a number of Punk bands were formed, which led to the creation of a German punk scene. Among the first wave of bands were Male, from Düsseldorf , founded in 1976, PVC, from West Berlin , and Big Balls and the Great White Idiot , from Hamburg . Early German punk groups were heavily influenced by UK bands, often writing their lyrics in English. The main difference is that German punk bands had not yet become political. Nina Hagen Beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s there were new movements within the German punk scene, led by labels like ZickZack Records, from Hamburg. It was during this period that the term Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave) was first coined by Alfred Hilsberg. Many of these bands played experimental post-punk , often using synthesizers and computers. Among them were The Nina Hagen Band , as well as Fehlfarben and Abwärts , from Hamburg. Both are still active, though they have changed their style several times. Other bands played a more aggressive style of punk rock with a clear leftist political direction influenced by earlier political rock bands like Ton Steine Scherben - bands like Slime , Toxoplasma , or Vorkriegsjugend are still relevant in the German punk scene. There is a still existing scene with many only locally known independent bands that confine themselves from the bigger and more popular groups (that are often branded as "Kommerzpunk"). Punkrock was outlawed in the GDR. Bands like Schleim-Keim or L'Attentat were observed and persecuted by the Stasi and could not perform in the public.Music was produced in underground and exchanged on Tape, an attempt to release a split-vinyl of "Schleimkeim" and "Zwitschermaschine" failed since the latter was undercut by government agents. Nonpolitical punkrock that is also listened to by skinheads is termed as Oi! . Thematically, Oi! songs are often about alcohol, relations, and/or violence. While some Oi! Bands like "Loikaemie" did antifascist songs, there are many cases with an affliction to neonazis , with fluid borders toward right-extremist rockmusic ("Rechtsrock") within the Oi!-Scene. There are few German language bands who managed to be successful for a longer period. The best known are the punk bands Die Ärzte and Die Toten Hosen . Both were formed in the early 1980s but have very different approaches to punk. As successful as those two bands in number of sales and number one albums but much lesser accepted by the public and normally not played by German media because of their affiliation with right-wing politics but with a huge fan community were the Oi!-Band Böhse Onkelz . Digital hardcore band Atari Teenage Riot is particularly well known in the United Kingdom and Japan as well as in German autonomist circles. Heavy metal See also: Teutonic thrash metal The Scorpions were the first German heavy metal band to be highly successful overseas, ultimately selling more than 100 million albums worldwide. Germany has a long and strong history with heavy metal . It is considered by many[who? ][weasel words ] to be one of Europe's heaviest contributors to the scene.[citation needed ] The genre is quite popular and mainstream within the country. Early hard rock /heavy metal was brought to German soil with the success of Scorpions and Accept . Germany is today known for its large metal festivals including Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze Open Air . Germany has a strong tradition of speed metal and power metal . Early speed metal bands include Running Wild , Grave Digger , Rage , and to some extent Warlock and Stormwitch . The European style of power metal, developed in Germany, was popularized by German bands like Blind Guardian , Helloween , Gamma Ray , Freedom Call , Iron Savior , Avantasia , Edguy and Primal Fear gained international recognition. In many cases these bands initially started out playing speed metal, but later switched to power metal. More recently, a new generation of power metal-influenced bands like Masterplan , Orden Ogan , Kissin' Dynamite and Powerwolf is becoming more and more popular in Germany and abroad. Running Wild are also considered a pioneer of the pirate metal genre with the release of their 1987 album Under Jolly Roger , which was one of the first pirate-themed heavy metal albums. Three local variants of metal subgenres exist in Germany. The Teutonic thrash metal scene is represented by such groups as Kreator , Sodom , Destruction , Tankard and Exumer . Medieval metal , incorporates German traditional music with industrial metal . Notable bands include Subway to Sally , In Extremo , Corvus Corax , Saltatio Mortis and Schandmaul (the last is considered folk rock in Germany). Another variant, Neue Deutsche Härte , a form of industrial metal , is detailed below. Bands from the genres of death metal , deathcore , metalcore , doom metal , black metal and folk metal are: Absurd , Agathodaimon , Annisokay , Any Given Day , Atrocity , Bethlehem , Caliban , Crematory , Dark Fortress , Deadlock , Debauchery , Desaster , Die Apokalyptischen Reiter , Disbelief , Endstille , Electric Callboy , Equilibrium , Falkenbach , Finsterforst , Fleshcrawl , Golem , Heaven Shall Burn , His Statue Falls , Katharsis , Leaves' Eyes , Midnattsol , Morgoth , Mystic Circle , Nagelfar , Nargaroth , Neaera , Necrophagist , Nocte Obducta , Obscura , The Ocean , Our Mirage ,Powerwolf ,The Ruins of Beverast , Secrets of the Moon , Saltatio Mortis , Suidakra , Van Canto , VENUES , War From a Harlots Mouth , We Butter the Bread with Butter and Wolfchant . Neue Deutsche Härte Rammstein at Madison Square Garden , New York City Neue Deutsche Härte (engl. "New German Hardness") is a term for an extremely popular German variant of Industrial metal . It combines the common sound of metal with elements of gothic and industrial music as well as electronic samples and is mostly sung in German. It is known for morbid and provocative lyrical themes and over-the-top stage shows often featuring fire, pyrotechnic, stunts and other special effects. It draws its audience from both the metal and goth scene. Some bands, especially Rammstein and Oomph! have gained mainstream success and, despite their lyrics being mostly in German, have also found success in non-German-speaking countries. Other famous artists include Stahlhammer (from Austria), Megaherz , Unheilig , Eisbrecher , Tanzwut , and Joachim Witt . Medieval metal Medieval metal or medieval rock is a subgenre of folk metal that blends hard rock or heavy metal music with medieval folk music. Medieval metal is mostly restricted to Germany where it is known as Mittelalter-Metal or Mittelalter-Rock. The genre emerged from the middle of the 1990s with contributions from Subway to Sally , In Extremo , Schandmaul and Wolgemut . The style is characterised by the prominent use of a wide variety of traditional folk and medieval instruments. Goth Germany is the home of a vivid Goth scene, and has a large scene of musicians from the spectrum who are typically known as Goth musicians. Most notable artists are Lacrimosa , Lacrimas Profundere , Xmal Deutschland , Das Ich , Deine Lakaien , Illuminate , Untoten , Erben der Schöpfung (from Liechtenstein), No More , Girls Under Glass or Project Pitchfork . Leipzig is home of the largest event of this subculture worldwide called the Wave-Gotik-Treffen , regularly hosting 25,000 attendants. The WGT is closely followed by the annual M'era Luna festival in Hildesheim . Neue Deutsche Todeskunst (engl. "New German Death Art") is a German death-obsessed Dark Wave style of music that blends Death rock , German Rock , Gothic Rock , and neo-classical music with German philosophical texts and a theatrical stage show. It is restricted to Germany where it emerged in the early 1990s from bands such as Das Ich , Lacrimosa , Relatives Menschsein and Goethes Erben . Many NDT artists are known for their use of Classical Latin . Electronic music and techno Grammy-winner Zedd Robin Schulz Germany has the largest electronic music scene in the world [citation needed ] and has a long tradition in and influence on almost all genres of electronic music. The band Kraftwerk was one of the first bands in the world to make music entirely on electronic equipment, and the band Tangerine Dream is often credited as being among the originators and primary influences of the "Berlin School" of electronic music, which would later influence trance music . Some other bands like Liaisons Dangereuses , Tyske Ludder , Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and Die Krupps created a style later called Electronic body music . Recently a few electronica artists have become successful in the mainstream, such as Monika Kruse , Marusha , Blümchen and MIA. Artists on the cutting edge of German-language techno include Klee . Both Einstürzende Neubauten (collapsing new buildings, translated literally) and KMFDM (no pity for the majority, translated literally) are considered by many industrial and electronic music fans as the godfathers of their genre. Their sounds developed the modern styles of groups such as NIN, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, and New Order. Einstürzende Neubauten can be recognized by their Prince-esque logo, which has been subliminally fused into several mainstream American movies (such as a tattoo in the movie Bug, directed by William Friedkin, starring Harry Connick Jr.). KMFDM has released many songs in English, making them more accessible to their huge American and worldwide audience. In the 1990s, Germany was one of the most successful contributors to the Eurodance genre, with notable German-based acts including Real McCoy , Snap! , Culture Beat , La Bouche , Captain Jack , Captain Hollywood Project , Fun Factory , Masterboy and Haddaway . Since 2006 producer and DJ Paul Kalkbrenner gained popularity in Germany. He nowadays is one of the most famous performers of electronic music. Trance music is a style of electronic music that originated in Germany in the very late 1980s and early 1990s, upon German unification. Following the development of trance music in Germany, many Trance genres stemmed from the original trance music and most trance genres developed in Germany, most notably "Anthem trance " or also called "uplifting" or "epic" trance, progressive trance , and "Ambient trance" . One of the most notable event referring to this scene was the Love Parade festival with up to 1.5 million participants from all over the world. Scooter are by far the most successful German dance act, having found huge national and international success. In recent years, German DJs have found worldwide success in the popular edm genre, most notably Paul Kalkbrenner, Cascada , Felix Jaehn and Robin Schulz . Other popular and influential German DJs and dance projects include Paul van Dyk , WestBam , DJ Quicksilver , ATB , Ian Pooley , Jam & Spoon , Lexy & K-Paul , Blank & Jones , Sven Väth , Dune , ItaloBrothers , Groove Coverage , Novaspace , International Pony and Anthony Rother . Klezmer in Germany and Eastern Europe Klezmer is a musical Jewish genre that consists of mainly instrumental songs. In Germany, Klezmer expanded significantly after the fall of the Berlin Wall in the mid-1980s. As Klezmer was expanding, so was the Yiddish folk movement, and the two genres became intertwined to a certain extent. In the 1980s while Klezmer was seeing tremendous growth, many Jews in Eastern Europe turned to Klezmer as a means of understanding their communist backgrounds and showing their remembrance to those who experienced the Holocaust . Once Klezmer groups started to tour outside of Europe in the 1980s, Americans gained immediate interest in the music genre. Henry Sapoznik created the first American Klezmer band, known as Kapelye, which toured all around Europe. The spread of Americans playing Klezmer brought a new tone to the genre which captured large audiences. Most American groups who played Klezmer added a hint of American rock into their performances, which was different from the traditional sound of Klezmer in Eastern Europe. It was uncomfortable at first for many of the American Klezmer bands to play in Germany because of the trauma that had occurred there. Despite Germany's background, the American Klezmer groups knew Germany was a place they had to play because of Klezmer's popularity there. Over time, Klezmer's audience expanded in Germany and the American Klezmer bands were able to adjust. Giora Feidman is arguably one of the most influential Klezmer musicians.[citation needed ] Feidman created a new perspective for Klezmer, and shared a new ideology for how the music genre could be viewed and appreciated. Feidman gained a large amount of popularity from his work on the musical play, Ghetto, which associated him and his style with the Holocaust. He brought a new theme to Klezmer music which focused on the remembrance of the Holocaust, and a way of "healing" the trauma caused by the Holocaust. Feidman turned Klezmer into a form of personal expression, in which he tried to unite all people (especially the Jews and Germans) and all things through Klezmer. He completely shifted the ideology of Klezmer and explained how Klezmer is in everything, it is even a way to get in touch with religion and communicate with God. However, some people believe Feidman took his ideology too far and turned Klezmer into something that it never intended to become. During the 1980s Klezmer underwent significant transformation, and by the middle-late 1990s Klezmer experienced a new wave of change. Klezmer became a name for many different trends far from where it originated. Klezmer was known as a political statement, a method of healing, amateur musicians getting together and playing music, a way to reconnect with lost traditions. BACK TO TOP

RAY DYLAN RAY DYLAN SINGER Read More Ray Dylan (born 15 August 1978) whose real name is Jacobus Frederick Jersich is a South African singer who sings in Afrikaans and English. Read more https://wikisouthafrica.co.za/ray-dylan/ | Wiki South Africa Jacobus Frederik Jersich, also known as Ray Dylan is a musician from Odendaalsrus,a small town in South Africa.Dylan is a singer in South Africa and most of his songs is in his native language, Afrikaans, but some is in English. In fact, his debut album was called "New Kid in Town." Ray was born on August 15, 1978 in a small town in South Africa and grew up in the North West area of the country.Dylan kicked off his career by performing in clubs and bars, he performed with fellow South African stars in South Africa. Dylan sings a lot of ballads, and incorporates electric guitar into most of his hits “The singer I am referring to is Ray Dylan. He sings mostly in his mother tongue, Afrikaans. His real name is Jacobus Frederik Jersich. I read that he is known as ‘Jaco’ to his family and ‘Jakes’ to his friends. I have also noticed in the media that some fans address him as 'Raytjie,' a diminutive form of Ray. Ray Dylan, Born on the Anniversary of the Death of Elvis, Developes a Fascination with the King Recently, a local news magazine ran an article about Ray Dylan and featured him on the cover. I thought he looked a bit like Elvis Presley, and when I read that Ray has a near-obsession about Elvis and that he was born exactly one year after Elvis’s death, I started wondering about the possibility that he could be a reincarnation of Elvis.From that point onwards, every time this magazine had a feature on Ray Dylan, there was also an article on Elvis Presley elsewhere in the magazine—for example an article about a lady in England who has a very big collection of Elvis memorabilia. These synchronicities went on for some time. Then a popular Afrikaans TV show featured an interview with Ray Dylan–barely a week after Oprah Winfrey’s famous interview with Lisa-Marie Presley was broadcast on TV in South Africa. I was pleasantly surprised when I watched the TV interview with Ray. He is very charming and has an endearing personality. He is also a very, very talented singer and guitar player (apparently Ray has 41 guitars at home). He produces music too.There seem to be many parallels between Ray’s and Elvis’s lives. Ray struggled at school and did not enjoy it very much. All that he wanted to do was to work in the music industry. Ray lost his beloved father a few years ago. It took him a long time to get over this loss. He became a close friend of one of his late father’s old friends.This friend had a young daughter. By the time she turned 16, Ray was already in love with her. She felt the same. They started going out. As she was so young, Ray kept their relationship hidden from the public. When she turned 18, they eventually went public about their romance.

Andriëtte already tasted success early in her career and was marvelled at by Afrikaans music lovers. In 2008 she received a Vonk award for Diamant in the Best Contemporary female album category. In 2009 she released Dink Aan My, followed by Vat My Hoër in 2011. This Capetonian was born and bred in Brackenfell. She felt right at home on big stages such as Huisgenoot Skouspel, and performed hits composed especially for her by Steve Hofmeyr en Rudi Claase. She was awarded a Ghoema in 2014 for Wat Rym met Liefde as Best Contemporary Female album. She remembers: “I had a wonderful childhood with fond memories of playing rugby and cricket with my brother. The singing bug bit me during my primary school years when the choir teacher gave me a microphone and asked me to sing in front of the choir.” At that moment she knew she just wanted to sing. Six albums later she is one of the most popular Afrikaans artists, seen and heard often on the stages of big festivals and events like the Krone concert. “Of course I have my favourite songs,” she admits. Steve’s Napoleon and Rudi’s Sewe Oseane rise above the rest. After school Andriëtte trained in the beauty industry and owned a clothing boutique. These days she acts as an event planner and her hobbies include being a nutritionist. She describes herself as having a fine sense of humour. “I love being able to make people laugh, although I can also be serious and deep. In general I always have a smile on my face. I like talking to people,” she says. In the extremely competitive Afrikaans music industry she is especially thankful towards the late Theuns Jordaan. Andriëtte tells: “Theuns took me under his wing directly after Idols and invited me to perform with him. I will never forget this.” Andriëtte and Glynn Moolman have been happily married for the past few years, and she has three boys that keep her busy. “At the moment I am working on new material, but I am also working on myself. Working toward a healthier, happier me!” she proclaims. After she was signed with a local label for the past 15 years, Andriette is now a proud, independent artist in the Afrikaans music industry. If she could gaze into the crystal ball to peek at herself in twenty years, she would like to see a woman who lived each moment to the fullest, someone who didn’t allow any opportunity to pass her by. “If I can still do what I love, namely singing and performing, it will be a bonus. I hope to have an English hit somewhere on my journey,” she added. LEAH LEAH SINGER Read More Met ’n nuwe klank wat ’n ander sy van Afrikaans ten toonstel, bring Leah, gebore en getoë in Bellville, Kaapstad se noordelike voorstede in die kollig as die oorsprong van alles wat vars is – en musiekliefhebbers gaan mal wees daaroor! “Ek gaan stroom-op,” vertel Leah van Niekerk. “Ek wil hê my musiek moet mense wys Afrikaanse musiek het meer om te bied as wat hulle verwag. My klank is totaal bekend en gemaklik maar daar is ook die subtiele nuanses wat die evolusie aanvoer van musiek wat ek baie liefhet.” Sy is nie net toegerus met ’n 14-snit debuut wat vroeg in 2015 die lig sal sien nie – Leah is ook ongelooflik goed gekwalifiseerd op vele vlakke. Sy het ‘n BCom (Regte) agter haar naam en opleiding aan die Waterfront Teaterskool, en het grootgeword in ’n huis gevul met deuntjies van haar pa se keuse. “Musiek is in my bloed,” voeg sy by. “Albei my ouers ondersteun my geweldig. My ma was nog altyd ’n voorstander daarvan dat ek eties and eerlik is in alles wat ek doen, wat dalk vreemd mag klink – maar dit is eienskappe waaraan ek hard werk en oral toepas.” Ná inskrywings in ’n magdom musiekkompetisies, met TV-advertensiewerk tussenin, het Leah se groot deurbraak gekom in die vorm van modelwerk: sy is raakgesien in November 2011 in Rapport se Model van die Jaar-kompetisie wat sy ook gewen het. Kort daarna het die vermaarde liedjieskrywer Johan Vorster haar hoor sing en onmiddellik aan die werk gespring om haar binne maande ’n opnamekontrak te verseker. Terwyl sy gewerk het aan haar langverwagte solo-debuutalbum, is die sangeres, wat in haar twintigs is en onlangs getroud is, ook genooi om in die hoogs-aangeskrewe silwerskermsukses As Jy Sing te sing en toneel te speel. “Dit was ’n ongelooflike ervaring. Soveel so dat ek elke oomblik geniet het en dit met liefde weer sal doen,” deel sy mee. Johan en Christof Kotze het 13 van die 14 snitte geskryf op hierdie koel versameling saamgeselsliedjies wat Leah se toetrede verteenwoordig. Die uitsondering is Leah se betowerende interpretasie van Christina Perri se trefferenkelspeler “A Thousand Years”. “Wat ek doen is meer kontemporêr as pop,” verduidelik Leah. “Dink aan vroëe Rihanna, gemeng met ’n bietjie Jason Mraz, ‘n tikkie Jack Johnson daarby, met ’n groot skep passievolle organiese varsheid, en dan kom jy hopelik by my uit.” Snitte soos Ek Moes Jou Gesoen Het, met Bobby van Jaarsveld as gaskunstenaar, getuig van Leah se vernuf, van begin tot einde. “Ek wil net optree en musiekmaak,” gee sy toe. “Toe ek grootgeword het was Laurika Rauch and Karen Wessels se Hoe Durf Jy name en liedjies wat so by my aanklank gevind het dat ek hulle navolg en alles waarvoor hulle en hul musiek staan. Maar hierdie keer lewer ek dit op my eie terme.” Sy is popmusiek se mezzo-soprano, behendig en tersiêr opgelei – Leah is alles behalwe ’n oornagsukses of ’n verskietende ster. Wat sy is, is 100% oorspronklik, dapper en krities oor musiek wat vir vele ander week in en week uit deug as agtergrond vir partytjies. “Ek dryf myself elke liewe dag, wat my stem betref, fisies en emosioneel, om my beste te gee in alles wat ek doen,” deel sy mee. “Anders, wat is die punt?” Om haar stembande uit te daag, en haar gehoor saam te nooi vir die uitstappie is iets waarin Leah uitblink. “Ek beoog altyd om my luisteraars op ’n reis te neem,” vertel Leah. Stel jouself voor ’n hoë C, klavier, ’n bietjie ligte kitaar, en funky, ongewone en totaal moderne vertolkings van die wêreld om haar – Leah het bewys sy is die ware Jakob, selfs voor die eerste van baie nommer-een treffers sy merk vind. “Ek het grootgeword en geniet my lewe,” sluit Leah af. “Ek is meer volwasse as toe ek in die musiekbedryf begin het. Vandag is ek gevestig en geheel en al betrokke by wat ek wil behaal. Ek weet wat ek wil hê en daarmee saam kom insig en die besef dat dit die moeite werd is om te wag vir goeie dinge.” Baie soos Leah se toetrede tot wêreldwye sukses. Leah is a bundle of energy that always makes time for others. Her debut album, Wonderwerk, boasts a golden status for sales and is also the presenter of kykNET’s ever-popular Farmer Seek a Woman series where she helps farmers in their search for love. Leah’s major breakthrough came in the form of model work: she was spotted in November 2011 in Rapport’s Model of the Year competition, which she also won. Shortly thereafter, award-winning songwriter Johan Vorster heard her sing and immediately went to work to secure her a recording contract. She entered the silver screen in 2013 in the musical movie “As Jy Sing”. She is definitely one of our country’s busiest artists with performances all over our country where she captures hearts and evenings with her unique sound and personality. Leah took the South African Music industry by storm in 2015 with her very successful debut album including the hits “Met Jou Klere aan” Spreading her wings she also became the host and actress in popular TV Series like “Boer Soek ‘n Vrou”, “Duidelik Dapper” and “Lottoland Help ‘n Dorp” KURT DARREN KURT DARREN SINGER Read More Full name: Kurt Johan van Heerden Nickname: Big KD Place of birth: Pretoria, South Africa Date of birth: 19th February 1970 Age: 50 years Gender: Male Height: 1.92 metres Nationality: South African Spouse: Dunay Nortjé Marital status: Married Profession: Television presenter, singer, and songwriter Instagram: @kurtdarren Twitter: @kurtdofficial Kurt Darren het sy eerste CD For Your Precious Love in 1995 opgeneem, maar dit was nie tot 1999, toe hy sy eie liedjies begin skryf het nie, dat hy begin het om groot opslae in die Suid Afrikaanse musiek wêreld te maak.

NUMBER ONE @ JACARANDA Nádine released a new Christmas album in December 2012. “Christmas in South Africa” focuses on the multi-cultural pride of SA. “The land of the sun” is showcasing all the different cultures and colours to the rest of the world. “Light In The Sky”, Nádine’s hitsong from 2012, received lots of airplay in South Africa and Belgium.

The leading lady of Afrikaans pop music will sing along with the audience, as well as guide three contestants through the game and in the process will present the South African TV audience a show that has all it takes to go far outside South Africa. FROM CITY TO TOWN TO VILLAGE As much as Nádine knows she’s emotionally ready for the big leap into new waters that’s currently underway, she’s well aware of all the hard work that lies ahead. “I started out just going from city to town to village in a touring bus asking to play my music and entertain people. I’m very excited to do all that hard work all over again, and to meet people and see places that I’ve never done before.” Home Town Johannesburg, South Africa Short Description Nádine's Official Page. 17 yrs, over 500 000 albums sold in multiple language, success in South Africa & Europe.

Gebore in Bethlehem in die Vrystaat, maar begin en voltooi haar skoolloopbaan in Kuruman, Noord Kaap. Reeds op twee jarige ouderdom is sy lief vir sing en sing sy, tydig en ontydig die enigste liedjie wat sy ken. Dit is ‘n ou liedjie, “Gaan kyk wie klop daar Jannie.” wat die verhaal vertel van die smart van ‘n boere gesin tydens die Anglo Boereoorlog. Haar vermoë om noot te hou en met gevoel te sing, het toe reeds mense verbaas. Op twaalfjarige ouderdom neem sy aan ‘n plaaslike sangkompetisie, vir Hoër-en-Laerskoolleerlinge, deel en sy wen dit met die liedjie “A whole new world.” Hierdie liedjie se titel het vir haar waar geword, want ‘n heel nuwe wêreld het vir haar oopgegaan. Twee jaar later neem sy deel aan die landswye sangkompetisie, “Reik na die Sterre” en word deur CJ de Swart in die tydskrif Keur, spesiaal vermeld vir haar “kommersiële trefkrag” Deur gereelde plaaslike optredes kry sy geleentheid om haarself as sangeres te slyp. Sy hou egter nie net by sang nie, want in haar graad 9 en 10 jaar besoek sy Italië en Griekeland vir modelwerk. Na sy matriek aan die Hoërskool Kalahari voltooi, begin sy die Elizma Theron Kultuurskool, waar sy klasse aanbied in moderne danse, modelwerk en sang. Begin 2005 voel sy dat sy gereed is om ‘n professionele sangeres te word. In die tyd skryf sy die liedjie “Lapaside” wat later die titelsnit van haar eerste album sou word. Die lirieke van hierdie liedjie is sprekend van haar self-motivering om die sprong van die bekende na die onbekende lewe as sangeres te maak.Die baie bekende Dennis East neem haar eerste album, “Lapaside” op waarna die plate-maatskappy Next Music die album by haar oorneem en haar ‘n platekontrak aanbied. Elizma Theron die professionele sangeres word “gebore”.Verskeie liedjies op die album, maar veral die titelsnit “Lapaside” word deur verskeie radiostasies gespeel en beland dit op die Top 20 van verskeie radiostasies. Haar musiekvideo van “Lapaside” bereik by ‘n paar geleenthede die nommer 1 posisie op die program 6@6 op MK89. Gedurende Januarie 2007 verskyn sy op “Dis hoe Dit is met Steve” en in Maart 2007 begin Elizma Theron, Adam Tas, Beeskraal, Mel Botes en MD Greyling, in samewerking met Solidariteit die “Stop die moorde-toer” met die doel om fondse in te samel vir slagoffers van plaasmoorde en om die fokus te plaas op die ongesonde hoë geweldsmisdaadsyfer in Suid-Afrika. Elizma Theron se loopbaan neem ‘n baie opwindende wending toe sy gedurende die tweede helfte van 2007 aansluit by die dinamiese plate-maatskappy, Select Musiek en is sy tans besig om haar tweede album op te neem. Met hierdie album wag daar beslis ‘n verrassing vir die ondersteuners van Elizma Theron. BACK TO TOP

OLDIES BUT GOLDIES Click Here Music has been an integral part of human culture for thousands of years. From earliest forms of music created by our ancestors to the modern-day genres we enjoy today, music has always been a way for people to themselves and connect with others. Throughout history, music has played a significant role in shaping our societies and cultures, and it continues to do so today. THE PEOPLE HISTORY OF MUSIC The Ways We Listen to Music The way we listen to music has changed drastically throughout the past seventy years. For a very long time records and the radio were the predominant means of listening to your favorite songs. Despite numerous advances in technology, many artists today still release their albums on vinyl records as well as MP3s and CDs because many music fans still believe that vinyl records provide the best musical experience. The technology for records began in the 1800's with wax records and phonographs, and as technology advance the size, speed and material of the records changed. In the 1970's until the 1990's 8-tracks and then cassette tapes became another popular media with which to experience music due to their portability. Although they were developed in the 1980's, CDs (Compact Discs) and CD players did not become a popular way to listen to music until the middle of the 1990's when the technology became more affordable. CDs replaced tapes due to their greater storage capacities and better sound quality. CDs were the most popular way to listen to one's favorite songs until the middle of the 2000's when computer and internet technology advanced significantly to make MP3 format and MP3 players more viable means of entertainment. Apple's iPod was released in November of 2001 and changed the way we listen to music forever making it forever portable and allowing us to infinitely expand our music collections. With more and more advances in computer technology and increased internet capabilities, we have the ability to instantly listen to our favorite songs at a relatively low cost or for free with our computers, phones, MP3 players, and tablets thanks to instant streaming services like Pandora or Spotify and online shops like iTunes or Amazon. Television also influenced the way we listen to music with artists being able to reach national audiences through performances on talk shows, music showcases, and music videos on MTV. Now with popularity of video sharing websites like YouTube, many artists are being discovered through this medium and established artists can connect more quickly and deeply with their fans.

Radio SAM Broadcaster Germany’’ wants to be part of your journey to that life changing event. Even more, follow us on social media and let’s share that special life changing event. Get your music on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, TikTok & 150+ platforms If you’re starting out and don’t have a big budget, you may wonder – how can I release music for free? There are lots of websites to upload music for free. Many of these also allow fans to download them for nothing, taking your tunes to a global audience. Are you keen to distribute your music and looking for places you can put it, so you can reach more people? In this article, we’ll list the most used and popular places to release your music without paying a penny. Read on to find out the best sites for giving your music away free online, as well as the pros and cons of each. Websites to upload music for free There are a number of sites offering music fans both uploads and downloads at no cost. While they won’t make you rich, they’ll give you access to much wider audiences. We recommend you use one (or several) of the sites we’ve mentioned. There are lots of illegal ones too. Keep away from those, so your music doesn’t get a bad reputation and you don’t get in trouble. Illegal downloads are incredibly damaging to everyone in the music industry. It’s worth knowing a little about what’s involved before uploading your music , including the differences between streams and downloads – and why it matters. Upload your song for free download If someone wants to listen to your songs on a plane or when the WiFi is down, they won’t be able to stream. But downloads are still playable – provided they downloaded them when connected to the internet. Many of the streaming sites make downloads part of the paid memberships – iTunes, Spotify and Tidal all allow you to release music for free, but fans will have to pay to download your tunes (or have a paid membership). This can be a disadvantage. However there are also sites catering to those wanting free downloads – or you can create your own.

BOK VAN BLERK - THEUN JORDAAN - LIANIE MAY - JUANITA DU PLESSIS - RIANA NEL - BOBBY VAN JAARSVELD - JAY DU PLESSIS - WILLEM BOTHA - KARLIEN VAN JAARSVELD - DEWALD WASSERFALL SOUTH AFRICAN MALE & FEMALE SINGERS FANPAGE BOK VAN BLERK BOK VAN BLERK SINGER Bok (GewildesMusikantus) Kenmerke Hierdie is die vermaaklikste boksoort en is bekend daarvoor dat hy musiek maak wat die kol tref en by alle Suid-Afrikaners aanklank behoort te vind. Hou ook sy lyf gereeld akteur en spog met meer as 163 000 volgelinge of Facebook, 105 000 op Twitter, CD verkope van by die half miljoen en ‘n lang lys toekennings. Gebore op 30 Maart 1978 in Pretoria, het hy na skool Boukunde en Konstruksiebestuur gestudeer voordat hy vir sewe jaar lank in die boubedryf gewerk het. Maar die passie om musiek te maak het hom voortdurend daaraan herinner dat hy iets anders wil doen en teen 2005, het Bok bouwerk van ‘n ander aard aangepak deurdat hy as professionele musikant aan sy bewonderaarsbasis begin bou het. Vier albums en ‘n hele rits toekennings later, is Bok een van die land se mees herkenbare stemme en gesigte in die vermaakwêreld, veral nadat hy oor die laaste drie jaar ook gereeld in Suid-Afrikaanse films te siene was. Bok se musiek spreek van ‘n liefde vir sy land en sy mense met ‘n sweempie humor wat hier en daar bygevoeg word. “De La Rey,” die eerste album met die gelyknamige titelsnit, het mense laat regop sit en notisie neem en multi-platinum verkope is behaal. In 2007 het Bok drie Huisgenoot Tempo Toekennings gewen, asook vyf Vonk Toekennings en die MK Musiekvideo van die Jaar. Tussendeur dit alles, help hy ook met die vervaardiging van die rugby musiekalbum “Ons Vir Jou” wat meer as 90 000 kopieë verkoop soos wat Wêreldbekerkoors die land oorheers. Daar word ook gewerk aan die opvolgalbum, “Afrikanerhart,” wat in 2009 vrygestel word en vinnig dubbel platinum verkope aanteken. In 2010, wen Bok die SAMA vir Bes Verkopende Album vir “Afrikanerhart” en word hy ook aangewys as die top verkopende Suid-Afrikaanse kunstenaar van die jaar. Na die vrystelling van sy derde album, “My Kreet,” skaars ‘n jaar later, ontvang hy ‘n goue ere-toekenning by die 2011 Vonk Afrikaanse Musiek Toekennings. Dis ook in 2011 wat Bok as die hoofakteur in die film Platteland verskyn teenoor Lianie May en Steve Hofmeyr. Die rolprent word die grootste Afrikaanse film van die jaar en die DVD verkope bereik dubbel platinum status. Die situasie herhaal homself in 2013 toe Bok in die film “As Jy Sing” verskyn en dit die grootste Afrikaanse rolprent van die jaar word. Rondom dieselfde tyd wat die DVD vroeg in 2014 uitgereik is, verskyn Bok weer op die grootskerm in “Vrou Soek Boer.” Bok gaan ook in “Leading Lady,” ‘n internasionale rolprent wat later in 2014 vrygestel word, verskyn. En hoewel als in groot geheimsinnigheid gehul is, is daar ook bevestig dat Bok aan nog ‘n ander rolprent gaan begin skiet in 2014. Bok se vierde album, “Steek die vure aan,” word tydens Braaidag en Erfenisdagverrigtinge in 2013 bekendgestel aan ‘n handjievol media, mede-kunstenaars en lojale bewonderaars wat vinnig genoeg kaartjies kon bekom. Verkoopsukses is hoofsaaklik te danke aan die gewildheid van die eerste treffer, “Land van melk en heuning,” ‘n tipiese Bok testament van kragtige lirieke, ‘n dieper betekenis en iets wat trots aanwakker. Die CD was die top verkopende album in die land vir ses weke en “Land van melk en heuning” het die nommer 1 posisie op verskeie radiostasies se treffersparades gehaal. Die tweede treffer is die titelsnit self en het reeds die nommer 1 posisie behaal op verskeie stasies, insluitende beide Jacaranda FM se treffersparades, die Afrikaanse Top 20 en die Kia Top 20. Bok is mal daaroor om te toer en optredes te hou. Twee persoonlike hoogtepunte vir hom was die eerste Afrikaans Is Groot konsert in 2012 voor ‘n skare van 28 000 mense in Pretoria en die daaropvolgende jaar se Afrikaans Is Groot konserte in Pretoria en Kaapstad voor 70 000 mense. Die DVDs van die konserte het ook onderskeidelik dubbel platinum en platinum status bereik met laasgenoemde wat steeds van die winkelrakke afvlieg. Bok is ook ‘n direksielid van die Afrikaans Is Groot Bestuurskomitee en ‘n aktiewe lid van die Hanna Liefdadigheid- en Bemagtigingsorganisasie. Hy het ook reeds twee keer deelgeneem aan die Bikers for Mandela Day inisiatief. Bok glo vas daaraan dat bewonderaars nie altyd besef hoe baie hul lojaliteit en erkenning vir kunstenaars beteken nie. Juis daarom maak hy ‘n punt daarvan om met hulle te kommunikeer en op die hoogte te hou van waarmee hy besig is, hetsy by konserte of deur sosiale media. Daarvan getuig die meer as 120 000 volgelinge op Facebook en die meer as 68 000 Twitter volgelinge. Naas die bewonderaars, is Bok ook baie trots op sy assosiasie met borge soos Blaser, Sensation Boats, Samsung, Guvon Hotels, Titleist, The Dental Spa en Kingsley Heath en maak hy seker dat hulle gelukkig is met hul verhouding met hom. Bok is ook mal daaroor om saam met ander kunstenaars te werk en het reeds liedjies opgeneem saam met Steve Hofmeyr, Valiant Swart, Robbie Wessels en Die Heuwels Fantasties. Hy is ‘n gewilde persoonlikheid in die Suid-Afrikaanse media en verskyn gereeld in koerante, tydskrifte en aanlyn, asook op radio en TV. Op TV het Bok ook al as aanbieder verskyn op programme soos die eerste seisoen van Toks & Tjops, gasaanbieder van Jukebox en Bok vir Sports waarvan die nuwe seisoen in 2014 vervaardig sal word en vroeg in 2015 uitgesaai sal word. Bok het selfs sy stem dik gemaak op die radiogolwe en in Maart 2014 vir drie dae lank as Anna Visser se mede-aanbieder op OFM se Breakfast Special verskyn. Bok se belangstellings en stokperdjies sluit in, die buitelewe, diepseehengel, jag, gholf, die bosveld en braai. “Dis in my bloed. Ek geniet musiek maak. Geniet is miskien nie ‘n sterk genoeg woord nie. Ek is mal daaroor. Mal daaroor om te sien hoe mense aanklank vind by my lirieke, hoe hulle saamsing… mal daaroor om te hoor by my bewonderaars hoe ‘n liedjie hulle lewe geraak het of net hul gemoedstoestand gelig het. Ek voel geseënd om te kan sê ek geniet wat ek doen.” As jy op die hoogte wil bly van Bok van Blerk se planne en optredes, sluit gerus aan by hom op sosiale media: Twitter: @BokvanBlerkReal Facebook: Bok van Blerk Read More THEUNS JORDAAN THEUNS JORDAAN SINGER Persoonlike inligting:Theuns Jordaan is op 10 Januarie 1971 gebore en het op ‘n plaas naby Venterstad, 30km van Bethulie, grootgeword. In sy matriekjaar aan die Hoër Volkskool Graaff-Reinet het hy sy liefde vir rugby met ‘n kitaar begin deel. Ná skool is hy weermag toe, daarna na die Universiteit van Stellenbosch waar hy ‘n B.Ekon.-graad verwerf het. Dit was ook op Stellenbosch waar Theuns al meer begin sing het. Op 21 Oktober 1992 het hy vir die eerste keer voor ‘n gehoor in die kuierplek The Terrace opgetree met ‘n paar rand en ‘n pizza as enigste betaling. Met sy graad in die hand verruil Theuns in 1998 Stellenbosch vir Pretoria en by die KKNK van 2000 word sy debuutalbum, Vreemde Stad, vrygestel. Vreemde Stad word een van die suksesvolste debuut-albums nog ooit in Afrikaans met verkope wat reeds verby die 210 000-merk is.Die kitaarspeler Anton L’Amour begin gereeld saam met Theuns optree, ‘n samewerking wat vandag nog deel is van Theuns se loopbaan.

Om dus dié sukses te behaal is soveel groter as wat ek ooit gedink het dit sou wees.” Roeper, Theuns se vyfde solo-CD, het reeds goue status behaal voor dit nog op die rak was. Dit is tans nommer een op Musica se Top-20 en is ook die afgelope twee weke die nommereen-CD in die land volgens RSG se Top-20.

Een van die liedjies, Voor die storm kom, is reeds ‘n treffer, en die duet met Marta Gomez, die Spaans-Afrikaanse weergawe van Soos bloed, wys hoe ver Afrikaanse musiek kan strek. Die duet met Doctor Victor op die prettigeWie se kind is jy is ’n gunsteling onder aanhangers, maar dis veral die nuwe snitte soos Honger hart, Hartseer vir die reën en Bloutrein wat Theuns vestig as een van die beste sanger/liedjieskrywers in Afrikaans.Death AN ICONIC South African singer has passed away at 50 years old after battling leukemia.

Album #DisHoeOnsRol In 2013, he released a new solo album titled #DisHoeOnsRol WILLEM BOTHA WILLEM BOTHA SINGER Biography Willem Botha (born 17 April 1987) is a South African singer, actor, and music producer from Riversdale, Western Cape. He was the runner-up of the Afrikaanse Idols reality music show. Willem Botha Age He was born on April 17, 1987, in South Africa. As of 2024, he is 37 years old and celebrates his birthday on April 17th every year. Since 2006 he kissed Idols loyalists goodbye and since he hugged tens of thousands of his own fans with two award-winning albums and major movie, theatre and TV roles to boot. At 27 most young South Africa ns are happy with a qualification and, even better, a steady job to help build their dreams. At the same age Willem had just returned from Europe where he made history as the first Afrikaans artist ever to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest. He was part of the team competing for Belarus and made the final. 100 million viewers watched the final live in 44 different countries. A dream come true for Willem! He also performed in Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Luxemborg and Dubai to name a few. Never one to take any part of his multifaceted and highly decorated career for granted, Willem makes work of pushing himself, and his talent, to the edge of even bigger things. “I’m living my dream,” he acknowledges. “I’ve always known I have wanted to be more than just a musician. First and foremost I’m an entertainer, in every sense of the word.” Singer, dancer, actor and more recently songwriter, he is on another growth spurt, and the benefactors are the ever-increasing number of fans that share a love for world-class entertainment. To confirm that there’s plenty more where the last two albums came from, July 2012 marks the release of Willem’s latest, 14-track album. Offering a level of maturity and sophistication fans familiar with 2006’s ground-breaking debut, Ko^ Ma Hier, and 2010’s Se^ My Nou SAMA -nominated follow-up will relish, My Stem Is Joune is filled with bold progression. “I wrote Vat Oor By My Jesus, Breek Op In Stereo and co-wrote Sad Song, and I loved the entire process,” he says. “This album is a game changer for me. The songs are all incredibly strong thanks to the great team of talented songwriters Johan Oberholzer and Machiel Roets. Roets, best known for the hit single My Lewe Draai Om Jou (the title track from Liefling Die Movie) co-wrote Sad Song, and Oberholzer delivered eight songs, including the title track to Willem’s new hit-peppered fan collectable. Willem may already be successful, but he wakes every day, open and keen to embrace the industry that feeds his ever-evolving ability. Music is also just one facet of this multi-talented guy’s other gifts. Having made his movie debut in 2010’s Liefling, Die Movie (officially the most successful Afrikaans motion picture of all time) and followed up with his role in 2012’s Pretville. Mid 2011 he played a very emotional role in a musical about the Border War, TREE AAN, which ran for two sold out seasons. 2013 marks his breakthrough role and TV-debut in the drama, Donkerland, written by renowned Deon Opperman. Mid 2014 will mark his return to the theatre as the lead in the musical, Reik Na Die Sterre. “I do not believe in luck,” he says matter-of-factly. “You create your own. I work incredibly hard, every day, to find opportunities and work with great, like-minded people.” With time comes experience and maturity, two attributes Willem’s harnessing at every turn. “My vocal ability has grown and improved,” he responds when asked how My Stem Is Joune compares to his previous two releases. “The overall sound of every song is strong. The quality and production is also the best it’s ever been. I write about life, experiences I have lived through, so there is a level of honesty and integrity there that I am very proud of.” As far as the music he writes, sings and performs, hes not precious about any aspect. “I don’t mind what I sing,” he adds. “If people enjoy it, that is what makes me happy. ” Willem’s also no stranger to sharing stages with the likes of Steve Hofmeyr as guest artist on his Haloda DVD released in September 2012. “It’s always a great privilege to be invited to perform with the like of Steve,” he says. “I love performing live, and being on stage, that’s when I am in my element. That is where I am truly content.” A stickler for detail, and insisting that every aspect of what he touches is the best it possibly can be, Botha made it his business to influence every aspect of My Stem Is Joune – right down to the artwork that adorns the album sleeve. “We shot the cover on a horse farm outside Pretoria,” he shares. As a Springbok rider, he still makes time in his hectic schedule to ride at his horse-trainer brother’s school. “I grew up on a farm in Riversdal, so any opportunity I get back in touch with my roots I jump at it.” One spin of My Stem Is Joune will have long-time fans beaming that the best parts they’ve got to know and love about Willem Botha are all still very much intact. “I’ve even included a club mix of Breek Op In Stereo, as well as a three-song medley of songs from my debut, Ko^ Ma Hier,” he says. “I’ve been performing the medley at almost all of my shows. Now, for the first time, fans can take the experience home with them and play it, at full tilt, as often as they like.” He knows where his bread is buttered, making work and takes time to respond to every aspect of his social media reality. “I’m very active on Facebook and Twitter,” he points out. “If I have fans making the effort to talk to me, I look to return the favour. Since the early days on Idols I’ve been very active online. It’s a great way to stay in touch with the people who allow me to keep doing what I love.” Willem Botha may have already tasted success, but he is hungry for more, and even happier to prepare every meal himself along the way. “There is a great saying that I’ve adapted. It’s become something of a mantra for me, and sums up how I live my life. It goes something like this: ‘The elevator to dreams is broken, so I take the stairs.’” Between a family and good friends that all help to keep him grounded, through to strong management and a record label equally invested in his future, Willem Botha surrounds himself with talented people. “What I do is often filled with challenges,” he concludes. “ How many people get to do what I do? There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t stop and give thanks for every opportunity I get. Hopefully fans hear that in the songs, and more especially when I perform live and get to thank them in person.” Read More KARLIEN VAN JAARSVELD KARLIEN VAN JAARVELD SINGER Biografie Karlien van Jaarsveld is die oudste van 3 kinders.

Read More DEWALD WASSERFALL BACK TO TOP DEWALD WASSERFALL SINGER Biografie Vir amper 20 jaar al is Dewald Wasserfall se wêreld so te sê oorheers deur musiek, en oor die afgelope dekade het hy in ’n suksesvolle en hoogs gerespekteerde sanger en liedjieskrywer ontpop. Liedjies skryf is in sy bloed. Op die jong ouderdom van 12 het Dewald alreeds sy eerste liedjie geskryf. Ná matriek het hy sy talent na die destydse Pretoria Technikon geneem en sy algemene bekwaamheid verder geslyp deur ’n diploma in vermaaklikheidstegnologie te verwerf. Dubbeld gekwalifiseer, beide op papier en met loutere talent, het hy die volgende vier jaar sy groep Wasserfall gelei, en twee albums, insluitende die treffers Suikerbos en All About Me, vrygestel – onderwyl hy liedjies geskryf het vir sommige van Suid- Afrika se grootste sterre, soos Jay, Karlien van Jaarsveld, Bok van Blerk en Lianie May. “My grootste vyand is ek self,” lag hy. “Ek kan nie stilsit nie. Wanneer ek nie slaap nie, hol ek rond en voeg verkieslik nuwe idees en kleure by my progressiewe musieksmaak.” Sedert 2010 bou Dewald aan ’n suksesvolle solo-loopbaan. Hierdie perfeksionis, professioneel tot die murg toe, het twee jaar lank aan sy langverwagte solo-debuut, 2012 se Vergeet Wat Jy Weet Van Liefde, saam met medeskrywers en tydgenote Johan Vorster en Ewald Coleske, gewerk. Beide die titelsnit, Vergeet Wat Jy Weet Van Liefde en die tweede enkelsnit, Eendag As Ons Groot Is het die nommer 1 posisie op verskeie radiostasies reg oor die land bereik. Tydens 2013 se Innibos Kunstefees in Nelspruit is Dewald voor 30 000 mense op die hoofverhoog verras met die feit dat sy album goue status bereik het en hy is ook daar en dan uitgenooi om deel te wees van die Afrikaans Is Groot-konsert. Intussen het hierdie album platinum status bereik vir verkope van meer as 40 000. 2014 merk die uitreik van sy tweede solo album getiteld, #EkEnJy, wat reeds binne drie maande goue status bereik het. Die 15-snit album met sy eiesoortige lirieke en melodie wat Dewald se stempel afdruk saam met skrywer Christoph Kotzé en die bekroonde Johan Vorster. “Ek is deesdae baie gefokus op my eie materiaal,” vertel hy. “Soveel so dat ek gesnoei het aan die tyd wat ek deurbring om saam met vriende en medekunstenaars te skryf, en in die laaste tyd eerder daardie energie in my eie werk probeer inploeg.” Om ’n bietjie selfsugtig te wees blyk om hom in die proses meer vrygewig te maak – sy waarderende aanhangers vind immers baat daarby. Vergeet Wat Jy Weet Van Liefde is liries gelaai en melodies ryk, en trek steeds nuwe aanhangers aan elke keer wanneer Dewald die lang pad met sy musiek aandurf. ’n Bonus vir ou bewonderaars is die insluiting van die lewendige gunsteling, My Hart Se Hongersnood, op die album. Karlien van Jaarsveld het ook haar stem tot die onmisbare applouswekkende snit gevoeg, wat dit tot ’n hele nuwe vlak van genot neem. 2014 merk die suksesverhaal van sy loopbaan en hy was ook weer te sien by Afrikaans Is Groot – Die Konsert in beide Pretoria en Kaapstad. “Ek’s trots Afrikaans,” sê hy. Hy besef dat sy aanhangers regoor die land nie net totaal toegewyd is aan waar hy vandaan kom nie, maar ook selfs nog meer belê in waarheen hy op pad is .In April 2013 het hy ook die gesogte Beste Nuweling toekenning by die Ghoema Afrikaanse Musiektoekennings ingepalm. Hy is ook genomineer vir nie minder as drie Huisgenoot Tempo toekennings – Nuweling van die Jaar, Beste Kontemporêre Album en Beste Musiekvideo waar hy ook met die Tempo vir Nuweling van die Jaar weggestap het. Pop, rock, akoesties of melodies – elke beskrywing van Dewald Wasserfall se sterkpunte, en hoe en waar hy sy musiek sien inpas, is allermins meer of minder gegrond op een spesifieke genre. “My materiaal is uniek,” beklemtoon hy. Wat #EkEnJy selfs meer boeiend maak vir nuwe en jarelange getroues, is Dewald se aandag aan detail en sy fokus daarop om slegs die mees uitmuntende vervaardigingswaardes tot sy skeppings te voeg. “Kwaliteit is die sleutel,” bevestig hy. “Gehore kan en moet krities en veeleisend wees. As ’n musiekliefhebber weet ek ék is, en dit is iets wat ek waardeer. Ek wil my beste werk lewer, elke keer, in antwoord daarop. Om terwyl hy toer kennis te maak met die mense wat na ’n Dewald Wasserfall vertoning kom kyk, is een van die baie aspekte wat hy geniet, te midde van ’n leefstyl wat soveel vereis van kreatiewes. “Ja, ek bring baie tyd deur op toer,” gee hy toe, “maar al is dit moeilik om vêr van die huis te wees vir lang tye op ’n slag, stroom die beloning aand ná aand in. Ek kry soveel bevestiging, elke dag, dat wat ek doen mense aanraak – op ’n vlak wat my inspireer om vol te hou om die beste, mees genotvolle en onvergeetlike musiek moontlik te maak.” Aanhangers ondersteun Dewald, die wenner van vele toekennings, steeds as ’n kunstenaar wat applous en bewondering verdien. “Ek weet nie mooi hoe ek doen wat ek doen nie,” sluit hy af, “maar ek is ongelooflik dankbaar vir elke aspek van my lewe. Dit gee my die geleentheid om al die gunste wat aan my bewys is, terug te gee elke keer as ek opstaan om op te tree.” Read More BACK TO TOP

The term country music gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to hillbilly music; it came to encompass Western music, which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar roots, in the mid-20th century. In 2009, in the United States, country music was the most listened to rush hour radio genre during the evening commute, and second most popular in the morning commute. The term country music is used today to describe many styles and subgenres. The origins of country music are found in the folk music of working class Americans and blue-collar American life. It has been inspired by American popular music, and American folk music which had its roots in Celtic music, early music of the British Isles, singing cowboys, corrido, ranchera, norteño, French folk music, African-American music, and other traditional folk music traditions. The main components of the modern country music style date back to music traditions throughout the Southern United States and Southwestern United States, while its place in American popular music was established in the 1920s during the early days of music recording ,Country music was "introduced to the world as a Southern phenomenon." Immigrants to the southern Appalachian Mountains, of the Southeastern United States, brought the folk music and instruments of Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean Basin along with them for nearly 300 years, which developed into Appalachian music. As the country expanded westward, the Mississippi River and Louisiana became a crossroads for country music, giving rise to Cajun music. In the Southwestern United States, it was the Rocky Mountains, American frontier, and Rio Grande that acted as a similar backdrop for Native American, Mexican, and cowboy ballads, which resulted in New Mexico music and the development of Western music, and its directly related Red Dirt, Texas country, and Tejano music styles. The U.S. Congress has formally recognized Bristol, Tennessee as the "Birthplace of Country Music", based on the historic Bristol recording sessions of 1927. Since 2014, the city has been home to the Birthplace of Country Music Museum.Historians have also noted the influence of the less-known Johnson City sessions of 1928 and 1929,and the Knoxville sessions of 1929 and 1930. In addition, the Mountain City Fiddlers Convention, held in 1925, helped to inspire modern country music. Before these, pioneer settlers, in the Great Smoky Mountains region, had developed a rich musical heritage The first generation emerged in the 1920s, with Atlanta's music scene playing a major role in launching country's earliest recording artists. James Gideon "Gid" Tanner (1885–1960) was an American old-time fiddler and one of the earliest stars of what would come to be known as country music. His band, the Skillet Lickers, was one of the most innovative and influential string bands of the 1920s and 1930s. Its most notable members were Clayton McMichen (fiddle and vocal), Dan Hornsby (vocals), Riley Puckett (guitar and vocal) and Robert Lee Sweat (guitar). New York City record label Okeh Records began issuing hillbilly music records by Fiddlin' John Carson as early as 1923, followed by Columbia Records (series 15000D "Old Familiar Tunes") (Samantha Bumgarner) in 1924, and RCA Victor Records in 1927 with the first famous pioneers of the genre Jimmie Rodgers and the first family of country music the Carter Family. Many "hillbilly" musicians, such as Cliff Carlisle, recorded blues songs throughout the 1920s. JUANITA DU PLESSIS During the second generation (1930s–1940s), radio became a popular source of entertainment, and "barn dance" shows featuring country music were started all over the South, as far north as Chicago, and as far west as California. The most important was the Grand Ole Opry, aired starting in 1925 by WSM in Nashville and continuing to the present day. During the 1930s and 1940s, cowboy songs, or Western music, which had been recorded since the 1920s, were popularized by films made in Hollywood, many featuring the king of the "singing cowboys", Gene Autry. Bob Wills was another country musician from the Lower Great Plains who had become very popular as the leader of a "hotstring band," and who also appeared in Hollywood westerns. His mix of country and jazz, which started out as dance hall music, would become known as Western swing. Wills was one of the first country musicians known to have added an electric guitar to his band, in 1938. Country musicians began recording boogie in 1939, shortly after it had been played at Carnegie Hall, when Johnny Barfield recorded "Boogie Woogie". The Legends of South Africa Singers The third generation (1950s–1960s) started at the end of World War II with "mountaineer" string band music known as bluegrass, which emerged when Bill Monroe, along with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs were introduced by Roy Acuff at the Grand Ole Opry. Gospel music remained a popular component of country music. Another type of stripped-down and raw music with a variety of moods, became popular among poor communities in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas; the basic ensemble consisted of classical guitar, bass guitar, dobro or steel guitar, though some larger ensembles featured electric guitars, trumpets, keyboards (especially the honky-tonk piano, a type of tack piano), banjos, and drums. This sound had its roots in the Native American, Hispano, and American frontier music of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico, including Western, honky tonk, ranchera, and corrido. By the early 1950s a blend of Western swing, country boogie, and honky tonk was played by most country bands. Rockabilly was most popular with country fans in the 1950s, and 1956 could be called the year of rockabilly in country music, with Johnny Cash emerging as one of the most popular and enduring representatives of the rockabilly genre; rockabilly was also a starting point for eventual rock-and-roll superstar Elvis Presley, who would return to his country roots near the end of his life. Beginning in the mid-1950s, and reaching its peak during the early 1960s, the Nashville sound turned country music into a multimillion-dollar industry centered in Nashville, Tennessee; Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves were two of the most broadly popular Nashville sound artists, and their deaths in separate plane crashes in the early 1960s were a factor in the genre's decline. Starting in the early 1950s, and during the mid-1960s, Western singer-songwriters such as Michael Martin Murphey and Marty Robbins rose in prominence as did others, throughout Western music traditions, like New Mexico music's Al Hurricane. The late 1960s in American music produced a unique blend as a result of traditionalist backlash within separate genres. In the aftermath of the British Invasion, many desired a return to the "old values" of rock n' roll. At the same time there was a lack of enthusiasm in the country sector for Nashville-produced music. What resulted was a crossbred genre known as country rock. Fourth generation (1970s–1980s) music included outlaw country with roots in the Bakersfield sound, and country pop with roots in the countrypolitan, folk music and soft rock. Between 1972 and 1975 singer/guitarist John Denver released a series of hugely successful songs blending country and folk-rock musical styles. By the mid-1970s, Texas country and Tejano music gained popularity with performers like Freddie Fender. During the early 1980s country artists continued to see their records perform well on the pop charts. In 1980 a style of "neocountry disco music" was popularized. During the mid-1980s a group of new artists began to emerge who rejected the more polished country-pop sound that had been prominent on radio and the charts in favor of more traditional "back-to-basics" production; this neotraditional movement would dominate country music through the late 1980s and was typified by the likes of George Strait. Attempts to combine punk and country were pioneered by Jason and the Scorchers, and in the 1980s Southern Californian cowpunk scene with bands like the Long Ryders and Mojo Nixon. During the fifth generation (1990s), country music became a worldwide phenomenon. Two types of artists enjoyed mainstream popularity: neotraditionalists such as Alan Jackson, and the more broadly popular stadium country acts, in particular Garth Brooks. The Chicks became one of the most popular country bands in the 1990s and early 2000s. The sixth generation (2000s–present) has seen a certain amount of diversification in regard to country music styles. It has also, however, seen a shift into patriotism and conservative politics since the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, but twenty years later, many are saying the genre is finally starting to move away from that.The influence of rock music in country has become more overt during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Most of the best-selling country songs of this era were in the country pop genre, such as those by Lady Antebellum, Florida Georgia Line, Carrie Underwood, Trixie Mattel, Orville Peck and Taylor Swift.Hip hop also made its mark on country music with the emergence of country rap The first commercial recordings of what was considered instrumental music in the traditional country style were "Arkansas Traveler" and "Turkey in the Straw" by fiddlers Henry Gilliland & A.C. (Eck) Robertson on June 30, 1922, for Victor Records and released in April 1923.Columbia Records began issuing records with "hillbilly" music (series 15000D "Old Familiar Tunes") as early as 1924. The first commercial recording of what is widely considered to be the first country song featuring vocals and lyrics was Fiddlin' John Carson with "Little Log Cabin in the Lane" for Okeh Records on June 14, 1923. was the first country singer to have a nationwide hit in May 1924 with "Wreck of the Old 97".The flip side of the record was "Lonesome Road Blues", which also became very popular. In April 1924, "Aunt" Samantha Bumgarner and Eva Davis became the first female musicians to record and release country songs. Many "hillbilly" musicians, such as Cliff Carlisle, recorded blues songs throughout the decade and into the 1930s. Other important early recording artists were Riley Puckett, Don Richardson, Fiddlin' John Carson, Uncle Dave Macon, Al Hopkins, Ernest V. Stoneman, Blind Alfred Reed, Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers and the Skillet Lickers.The steel guitar entered country music as early as 1922, when Jimmie Tarlton met famed Hawaiian guitarist Frank Ferera on the West Coast. Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family are widely considered to be important early country musicians. From Scott County, Virginia, the Carters had learned sight reading of hymnals and sheet music using solfege.Their songs were first captured at a historic recording session in Bristol, Tennessee, on August 1, 1927, where Ralph Peer was the talent scout and sound recordist.A scene in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? depicts a similar occurrence in the same timeframe. Rodgers fused hillbilly country, gospel, jazz, blues, pop, cowboy, and folk, and many of his best songs were his compositions, including "Blue Yodel",which sold over a million records and established Rodgers as the premier singer of early country music. Beginning in 1927, and for the next 17 years, the Carters recorded some 300 old-time ballads, traditional tunes, country songs and gospel hymns, all representative of America's southeastern folklore and heritage. Derived from the traditional Western, including Red Dirt, New Mexico, Texas country, Tejano, and honky-tonk musical styles of the late 1950s and 1960s. Songs such as the 1963 Johnny Cash popularized "Ring of Fire" show clear influences from the likes of Al Hurricane and Little Joe, this influence just happened to culminate with artists such as Ray Price (whose band, the "Cherokee Cowboys", included Willie Nelson and Roger Miller) and mixed with the anger of an alienated subculture of the nation during the period, outlaw country revolutionized the genre of country music."After I left Nashville (the early 70s), I wanted to relax and play the music that I wanted to play, and just stay around Texas, maybe Oklahoma. Waylon and I had that outlaw image going, and when it caught on at colleges and we started selling records, we were O.K. The whole outlaw thing, it had nothing to do with the music, it was something that got written in an article, and the young people said, 'Well, that's pretty cool.' And started listening." (Willie Nelson)The term outlaw country is traditionally associated with Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker,Hank Williams, Jr., Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and Joe Ely.It was encapsulated in the 1976 album Wanted! The Outlaws. Many Western and Outlaw country music artists maintained their popularity during the 1980s by forming supergroups, such as The Highwaymen,Texas Tornados, and Bandido. Country pop Main article: Country pop Country pop or soft pop, with roots in the countrypolitan sound, folk music, and soft rock, is a subgenre that first emerged in the 1970s. Although the term first referred to country music songs and artists that crossed over to top 40 radio, country pop acts are now more likely to cross over to adult contemporary music. It started with pop music singers like Glen Campbell, Bobbie Gentry, John Denver, Olivia Newton-John, Anne Murray, B. J. Thomas, the Bellamy Brothers, and Linda Ronstadt having hits on the country charts. Between 1972 and 1975, singer/guitarist John Denver released a series of hugely successful songs blending country and folk-rock musical styles ("Rocky Mountain High", "Sunshine on My Shoulders", "Annie's Song", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and "I'm Sorry"), and was named Country Music Entertainer of the Year in 1975. The year before, Olivia Newton-John, an Australian pop singer, won the "Best Female Country Vocal Performance" as well as the Country Music Association's most coveted award for females, "Female Vocalist of the Year". In response George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Jean Shepard and other traditional Nashville country artists dissatisfied with the new trend formed the short-lived "Association of Country Entertainers" in 1974; the ACE soon unraveled in the wake of Jones and Wynette's bitter divorce and Shepard's realization that most others in the industry lacked her passion for the movement. During the mid-1970s, Dolly Parton, a successful mainstream country artist since the late 1960s, mounted a high-profile campaign to cross over to pop music, culminating in her 1977 hit "Here You Come Again", which topped the U.S. country singles chart, and also reached No. 3 on the pop singles charts. Parton's male counterpart, Kenny Rogers, came from the opposite direction, aiming his music at the country charts, after a successful career in pop, rock and folk music with the First Edition, achieving success the same year with "Lucille", which topped the country charts and reached No. 5 on the U.S. pop singles charts, as well as reaching Number 1 on the British all-genre chart. Parton and Rogers would both continue to have success on both country and pop charts simultaneously, well into the 1980s. Country music propelled Kenny Rogers’ career, making him a three-time Grammy Award winner and six-time Country Music Association Awards winner. Having sold more than 50 million albums in the US, one of his Song "The Gambler," inspired multiple TV movies, with Rogers as the main character. Artists like Crystal Gayle, Ronnie Milsap and Barbara Mandrell would also find success on the pop charts with their records. In 1975, author Paul Hemphill stated in the Saturday Evening Post, "Country music isn't really country anymore; it is a hybrid of nearly every form of popular music in America." During the early 1980s, country artists continued to see their records perform well on the pop charts. Willie Nelson and Juice Newton each had two songs in the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the early eighties: Nelson charted "Always on My Mind" (No. 5, 1982) and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" (No. 5, 1984, a duet with Julio Iglesias), and Newton achieved success with "Queen of Hearts" (No. 2, 1981) and "Angel of the Morning" (No. 4, 1981). Four country songs topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1980s: "Lady" by Kenny Rogers, from the late fall of 1980; "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton, "I Love a Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbitt (these two back-to-back at the top in early 1981); and "Islands in the Stream", a duet by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers in 1983, a pop-country crossover hit written by Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. Newton's "Queen of Hearts" almost reached No. 1, but was kept out of the spot by the pop ballad juggernaut "Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.The move of country music toward neotraditional styles led to a marked decline in country/pop crossovers in the late 1980s, and only one song in that period—Roy Orbison's "You Got It", from 1989—made the top 10 of both the Billboard Hot Country Singles" and Hot 100 charts, due largely to a revival of interest in Orbison after his sudden death.The only song with substantial country airplay to reach number one on the pop charts in the late 1980s was "At This Moment" by Billy Vera and the Beaters, an R&B song with slide guitar embellishment that appeared at number 42 on the country charts from minor crossover airplay. The record-setting, multi-platinum group Alabama was named Artist of the Decade for the 1980s by the Academy of Country Music.

South African Spiced Shakshuka is a captivating dish that brings together the vibrant flavors of North Africa and the unique spices of South Africa. It has gained recognition for its harmonious blend of tastes and textures, making it a favorite among food enthusiasts. Easy South African Recipes For Your Kitchen The history of South African recipes reflects the country’s complicated past, which has seen colonialism, slavery, apartheid, and liberation movements. South African cuisine is a unique blend of flavors and influences from the country’s diverse cultural heritage, including indigenous African, Dutch, Malay, Indian, and British.Before European colonization, South African food was based on a hunter-gatherer culture, with traditional dishes consisting of game meat, fruits, and vegetables. The arrival of Dutch settlers in the 17th century brought about significant changes in the local cuisine. The Dutch introduced farming and livestock, which led to the introduction of South African recipes such as biltong (dried, cured meat), boerewors (sausage), and potjiekos (stew). The Dutch also brought slaves from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Madagascar, who introduced their own cuisine to South Africa. One of the most significant contributions was the Cape Malay cuisine, which originated from the Cape Muslim community. This South African food is known for its use of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and turmeric, as well as the use of fruit in savory dishes. Indian laborers were also brought to South Africa in the 19th century to work on sugarcane plantations. They brought with them their own foods, which included curries, biryanis, and samoosas. Today, Indian cuisine is an integral part of South African food, and South African recipes such as bunny chow (a hollowed-out bread loaf filled with curry) and breyani (spicy rice dish) are popular across the country. The arrival of British colonizers in the 19th century also had an impact on South African recipes. British cuisine was introduced, which included dishes such as roast beef, fish and chips, and pudding. However, the British also brought their love of tea, which became a popular beverage in South Africa and is still enjoyed today. South African Lamb Sosaties Recipe The South African Lamb Sosaties Recipe is a traditional dish with a rich history and a delicious taste. These skewered lamb kebabs are marinated in a flavorful mixture of spices, dried fruits, and vinegar, creating a unique and savory flavor profile. Historically, sosaties have deep roots in South African cuisine, particularly among the Cape Malay community. They are believed to have originated from Indonesian and Malay influences during the spice trade era. The name “sosatie” is derived from the Indonesian word “sate,” which means skewered meat, reflecting the dish’s Indonesian origins. Method Peel the garlic and deseed the chillies, then roughly chop and place into a pestle and mortar. Bash with a pinch of salt to a rough paste. Peel, finely chop and add the ginger, then bash until broken down and combined. Finely slice the mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Heat a lug of oil in a large wok or heavy-based saucepan over a medium-high heat, add the mushrooms and fry for 4 minutes, or until lightly golden. Stir in the chilli paste and bamboo shoots and fry for a further minute. Meanwhile, mix together 3 tablespoons of soy, 4 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar, the honey and a good pinch of white pepper. Stir the mixture into the pan and cook for a minute, then pour in the hot stock and bring gently to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced. Meanwhile, chop the tofu into 1cm cubes, finely slice the spring onions and chives and whisk the egg well. Once reduced, remove the soup from the heat. Using a chopstick, stir the soup in a clockwise direction until you get a little whirlpool, then slowly add the beaten egg, stirring continuously to form thin ribbons. Stir in the tofu and return to the heat for 1 minute to warm through. Season to taste with soy and vinegar, then serve immediately with the spring onions and chives scattered on top. Equipment Skewers Mixing bowls Chef's knife Cutting board Basting brush Grill or grill pan Mixing spoon Ingredients Lamb 4½ lb lamb shoulder 3 1/3 cups apricots large dried 3 onions cut into 1 inch wedges Marinade 4 oz apricot jam 2¾ oz white wine vinegar 1/4 cups brown sugar 3 bay leaves 4 garlic cloves finely chopped 2 tsp turmeric ground ¼ tsp cinnamon 1 tbsp curry powder mild Instructions Get the lamb marinating a day ahead of time.

Toss the lamb chunks in the remaining marinade. Place in the fridge overnight. For 30 minutes, or until plump, soak dried apricots in boiling water. Drain and put away. Put three apricot slices and three onion wedges on each skewer, and four pieces of lamb. Prepare a grill or chargrill for medium heat. Skewers should be grilled for 15 minutes, basting occasionally with the leftover marinade and turning to brown all sides. Notes Soak skewers in water before use to prevent burning.Marinate lamb for at least 2 hours for flavor.Baste sosaties with marinade while grilling.Grill over medium heat for even cooking.Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.Serve with a dipping sauce for added flavor. South African Bunny Chow Recipe The South African Bunny Chow recipe is a South African culinary delight deeply rooted in the country’s diverse culture and history. This beloved dish, which originated in the Indian community of Durban, showcases the rich tapestry of South African cuisine. It is a testament to the fusion of flavors and traditions that make South African culture so unique. At its core, a South African Bunny Chow recipe consists of a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with a flavorful curry. The bread serves as both a vessel and an accompaniment to the aromatic and spicy curry, creating a satisfying and hearty meal. This dish perfectly embodies the idea of using simple ingredients to create something extraordinary. Equipment Large Skillet Cutting board Chef's knife Wooden spoon or spatula Measuring cups and spoons Hollowed-out bread loaves for serving Ingredients For the curry powder ¼ tsp Cayenne pepper powder 1 tsp ground coriander ¼ tsp ground cumin 1 pinch fennel seeds 1 pinch ground fenugreek ¼ tsp black pepper ½ tsp ground turmeric ½ tsp ground ginger 1 tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp chilli powder For the bunny chow 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tsp cumin seeds ½ tsp fennel seeds 1 stick cinnamon 2 pods green cardamom 1 star anise 1 bay leaf 1 onion chopped 2 tbsp curry powder 2 tomatoes peeled, seeded and chopped 20 oz. lamb cut into ½ inch (1,5 cm) cubes 1 tbsp ginger finely chopped fresh 1 tsp garam masala 3 cloves garlic finely chopped 12 curry leaves 3 potatoes cut into ½ inch (1,5 cm) cubes Salt 3 tbsp cilantro leaves finely chopped 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed 2 cups water 2 loaves bread not sliced, each cut in half in the middle and emptied of the crumb 2 tbsp cilantro for serving Instructions Bunny Chow Brown the whole spices and bay leaf in a pan with oil over medium heat until the spices crackle and the bay leaf turns a deep brown, releasing their scents.

Cook for 1 minute over medium heat with the curry powder and garam masala you set aside, then add the tomatoes and stir to incorporate. Ten minutes covered, stirring often over medium heat. Throw in the meat along with a quarter cup of water (300 ml), raw ginger, garlic, and curry leaves. Simmer for 50 minutes, or until the meat is cooked, stirring regularly over low to medium heat after it has come to a boil. Toss in the potatoes and a pinch of salt, then top off the saucepan with the remaining 3/4 cup (200 ml). Maintain a healthy blend. The meat and potatoes need to simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Mix in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Curry Powder Put everything in a spice grinder and pulse until it resembles a fine powder. In other words, put aside. Notes Use pre-cut vegetables to save time on preparation.Brown the meat before adding it to the curry for added flavor.Adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of chili used.Stir the curry occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.Taste and adjust seasonings before serving for the perfect flavor.Allow the curry to simmer to meld flavors for a more delicious result.Customize the recipe with your choice of protein for variety. South African Koeksisters Recipe The South African Koeksisters recipe for these sweet treats is deeply rooted in South African culture and have a history that dates back to the Dutch colonial era. Koeksisters are made from a simple dough consisting of flour, sugar, butter or margarine, and milk. The dough is mixed and then braided into distinctive shapes, usually twisted or plaited, before being deep-fried to a golden brown perfection. Once fried, they are immediately immersed in a syrup made from sugar, water, and sometimes a hint of lemon juice or cinnamon, creating a sticky, sweet coating. Equipment Large mixing bowl Frying pan or deep fryer Slotted spoon or tongs Saucepan for syrup Cooling rack Ingredients Soaking Syrup: 3 cups sugar 2 cups water ½ medium lemon zested in large strips 3 ginger 1/4 inch thick slices peeled fresh 1 teaspoon lemon juice Koeksisters: 2 cups flour 1 tablespoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter cold unsalted cut into chunks ½ cup milk 2 cups oil or as needed oil for frying sunflower or canola Instructions To prepare the syrup, Over medium heat, bring a mixture of sugar, water, lemon zest, ginger, and lemon juice to a boil. Ten minutes at medium heat should suffice. Take the syrup off the fire and let it cool for 30 to 45 minutes until it reaches room temperature. Place in a bowl, cover, and chill for 8 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld. To prepare the koeksisters, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a basin and sift. Incorporate the butter by rubbing it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. To get a smooth dough, add the milk and whisk. Don't touch the dough for at least 2 hours after wrapping it in plastic. Spread a little flour on a clean work surface, dump out the dough, and roll it out into small round bals for frying. Bring 2 inches of oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees C) in a deep fryer or large saucepan. Prepare a baking sheet with a wire rack. Spoon some of the chilled syrup into a serving bowl and put the rest back in the fridge. Two to five minutes, or until fragrant and golden brown, fry three koeksisters in heated oil. Take out with a slotted spoon and cool for 10 seconds in cold syrup. Place on the cooling rack. Fry and dip the remaining koeksisters until done, and then repeat with fresh cool syrup. Notes Use a thermometer to maintain the correct frying temperature.Ensure the syrup is warm when dipping the Koeksisters for better absorption.Fry in batches to prevent overcrowding in the pan.Allow Koeksisters to cool slightly before transferring to the syrup.Gently press them to absorb the syrup evenly.Use a slotted spoon to remove excess syrup and transfer to a cooling rack.Serve freshly made Koeksisters for the best taste and texture. South African Biltong Recipe South African Biltong recipe are used to create a traditional South African snack. This dried meat delicacy is not only a popular snack but also a reflection of South African culture, history, and even offers some health benefits. Originating in South Africa, Biltong has a history dating back centuries. It was initially created as a way to preserve meat in a harsh climate where refrigeration was not readily available. The process involves marinating thin slices of meat, often beef or game meats, in a mixture of vinegar, salt, and various spices, such as coriander and pepper. This marinated meat is then air-dried, allowing it to gradually dehydrate and develop a distinctive flavor and texture. Equipment Dehydrator Sharp knife for slicing meat Mixing bowl (for marinating) Measuring Spoons Ziplock bags for marinating Paper towels for patting meat dry Butcher's twine (optional) Ingredients Meat 4 1/2 lb Beef Curing spice mix 5 tbsp vinegar Brown or cider 2½ tbsp salt Coarse 2 tsp black pepper Ground 2 tbsp Coriander seed 1½ tbsp sugar Brown Instructions The coriander seeds should be toasted in a dry pan before being ground in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. You want primarily powder with some whole or broken seed shells. Cut the meat into 1-inch (2.5-cm) thick lengths, making sure to cut against the grain, and store in a non-metallic container. Mix all the seasonings together and rub them into the meat. While flipping the meat with your hands, sprinkle it with vinegar and fully rub it in. Refrigerate the biltong, covered, for 24 hours, during which time you will turn and rub the meat with your hands occasionally. Using paper towels, pat the meat dry, being careful not to remove too much of the seasoning. Each length needs a hook attached to its thickest end. Paper clips with plastic coatings are an inexpensive alternative. Keep it hanging in your biltong box or in a well-ventilated area with a gentle breeze. To prevent the meat's casing from hardening, don't aim a fan at it. Check that nothing is touching. Use a sheet of newspaper to catch any juices that may drip from the meat. Time required to dry will change depending on ventilation, temperature, and humidity. Every few days, using clean fingers, squeeze the sides to see if the biltong is ready. 'Wet' flesh has a slight give when gently squeezed. Notes Use lean cuts of beef for a healthier option.Adjust spice levels to suit your taste preferences.Regularly check the dehydrator for even drying.Experiment with different spices for unique flavors.Slice the meat thinly for faster drying.Marinate the meat for at least 4 hours for flavor.Use a fan to improve air circulation during drying.

Equipment Pots, Pans and Cooking Equipment Needed for The South African Pumpkin Fritters Recipe Top Ways to Make A Better South African Pumpkin Fritters Recipe Best Way to Store Leftovers From The South African Pumpkin Fritters Recipe Tips and Tricks For Easier Creation Ingredients 2 cups pumpkin cooked 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons baking powder not soda 2 tablespoons sugar granulated 2 large eggs oil for frying sugar cinnamon flavor Instructions 1.The dry ingredients should be combined in a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, just use a bowl to combine everything. 3.Whether using a food processor or a mixing bowl, add the eggs and process until a thick batter develops. When tested with a spoon, the batter should nearly retain its form. If the batter is overly thick, a drop or two of milk should do the trick. If the mixture is too thin, which shouldn't happen, add a little more flour. Put oil in a pan and turn the heat up to medium-high. Drop heaping spoonful of batter into the pan. Make sure they're not touching. Since some of the batter will inevitably be left on the spoon, don't expect very large fritters. Fry one side until it is firm and brown, then flip it over and do the same. Although a non-stick pan eliminates the need for oil or butter, even a small amount of oil yields better results. The fritters will rise and retain their form while cooking, but they will deflate a little as soon as you remove them from the pan. Lightly pressing on the fritters should reveal whether or not they are done. When finished, they have a tendency to bounce back. No batter should be escaping from the sides, so if you're worried, press down even more. Sprinkle with heaps of crunchy cinnamon-flavored sugar and serve warm as a side dish or dessert. Notes Maintain consistent oil temperature while frying for even cooking.Use a spoon or ice cream scoop for uniform fritter sizes.Flip fritters gently to avoid splattering hot oil.Ensure the batter is well-mixed to incorporate all ingredients.Adjust sugar and spice levels to suit personal preferences.Test oil readiness by dropping a small piece of batter; it should sizzle and float.Serve fritters immediately for the best taste and texture.

Be extremely gently as you press the dough into the prepared pie pan, beginning in the middle and working your way outward and up the edges until the pan is completely lined with pastry. Put the pie pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes; if time is short, use a brick and bake it with beans to keep the dough from rising.
