We quite liked this one too. Remember we had sanctions against us so were not exposed to too much music at a time :D

So, how did you get music in the day of the sanctions? I remember a video called "Ain't gonna play in Sun City" which pressured musicians not to play in S. Africa.
 
Certain countries tried to impose sanctions in the 60's + 70's but they were not effective, they were not backed by the 'big guys'. Individuals/groups managed to boycott films and music to a extent. It was really only in the 80's when the USA, Britain and many other nations agreed to place trade sanctions on SA that we started feeling the pressure. So yes, the music filtered through but groups/musicians refused to play here so we didn't have it 'all'.

Here's some true SA boere music(toe tappers) mainly preferred by the older generation, for you all :D

No :oops: but do know the song Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys, so many other artists sang it that I'm sure we didn't ever get to hear the original artist. Especially with Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson bringing it to the tops.

Listen to the Ed Bruse version, he was the original. He and his wife wrote the song
