Die Antwoord

Die Antwoord - translated from Afrikaans "Answer" (pronounced as di antwerd).

Die Antwoord are the parents of a very specific style of music - "zef-rap" ("zef" - in Afrikaans something like "white trash", "redneck") or otherwise "rap-rave". They gained popularity thanks to the song and video "Enter the ninja", showing it on YouTube. The clip, albeit rather meager in content, quickly garnered a huge number of views, and presented a crowd of fans to the newly minted rap ravers from South Africa. Watkin Tudor Jones (aka Waddy Jones, Ninja) himself says that he was inspired to create a new page in the book of musical styles ... a taxi.
“In South Africa, rave is constantly sausage from a taxi, bro,” Ninja tells reporters. - You can hear him all around in the city, driving past a taxi, and shaking - BOOM, BOOM. Therefore, my main source of inspiration is taxi. Our entire album sounds as if you are standing near a car and hear music from there. "
The mysterious story of the appearance of these guys only adds to their popularity, which is growing every day, and the role of "dirty" swearing and "sending everyone right and left" rap ravers explodes enthusiastic crowds. The lyrics of Die Antwoord are rough, but this style just takes on its originality, making both fans and idol equal, which can be noticed more and more often lately.
"Die Antwoord is a cute South African thing, the result of a cross between many different cultures - white, black, colored and alien, put together - set off on a crooked path on a crazy journey to enlightenment." This is what a new band from Cape Town (Kapstad) writes about themselves.
