On record: ’n onderhoud met Schalk van der Merwe
Schalk D van der Merwe, Naomi Meyer "Musiek (en natuurlik ander vorme van kuns) is iets wat die samelewing weerspieël. Selfs ’n popliedjie met oppervlakkige lirieke is ook op ’n manier betekenisvol. Wat die invloed van Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis op Afrikaanse musiek betref: ja, dit is grootliks die kern." |
