Koos Kombuis will perform live at Plett SunSets on Fri 6 July at Plett Surf Lifesaving Club. 

Koos Kombuis became famous as part of a group of anti-establishment maverick Afrikaans musicians, who, under the collective name of Voëlvry (directly translated meaning “Free as a bird”; in Afrikaans “voëlvry” is synonymous with the words “fugitive” and “outlaw”), toured campuses across South Africa in the 1980s, to “liberate Afrikaans from the shackles of its past”.

Fellow musicians of this movement were Johannes Kerkorrel and Bernoldus Niemand (James Phillips). They were a new generation Afrikaner who didn’t believe in apartheid and didn’t toe the ruling National Party line. Kombuis is an icon among the alternate Afrikaners and other South Africans who consider him the father of non-conformist Afrikaans culture.
