Agter die Ligte

This one-night-only performance with world-class sound and lighting was the biggest Afrikaans musical production in South African history. Featuring 900 vocalists, musicians and technicians, the night was the experience of a lifetime.

With the support of artists from across the country, people were invited to attend the spectacle at the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg on 20 March, 2012. This was to be no ordinary video shoot, but a moment in South African music history. On stage were artists such as Coleske, Romanz, and the Tshwane Gospel Choir and a symphony orchestra.

Joe Niemand’s career spans ten years and seven albums, and thie performance included a collection of his most popular songs, including the radio hit “Words,” and “A New Day,” the theme song from the film <i>Faith Like Potatoes</i>. He also sang “Ek Sal Nie Bang Wees Nie,” which recently achieved platinum status and was one of the biggest-selling songs of 2011.

An Afrikaans star, he was not only able to fill the biggest indoor arena in the country, but also to offer up to his audience a fantastic production.
