Refentse Morake has taken the Afrikaans community by storm with his classic renditions of hits such as 'De la Rey'.
Singer and songwriter, Refentse Morake, has taken the Afrikaans community by storm.
JOHANNESBURG - Vereeniging-based artist Refentse Morake says composing music in Afrikaans is not a difficult task for him because he"dreams and thinks in Afrikaans"."I feel like Afrikaans is a very explosive and descriptive language so it is one of the easiest languages for me to write in," he said. "I think and dream in Afrikaans which means I feel in Afrikaans, and that means I can easily project my feelings in Afrikaans.".Having collaborated with several Afrikaans musicians including Karen Zoid, Morake says he hopes to collaborate with other artists across different genres in future.
"I would very much like to work with Lady Smith Black Mambazo and a lot of other interesting sounds like Sibongile Kumalo with the Afro Jazz influences", added Morake. Morake released his debut album in 2016, which was nominated for a SAMA for Beste Kontemporêre Musiek Album.
