Valiant is a
South African legend. He sings a
folk rock blend in
Afrikaans with large
doses of
humour and
irony thrown in, in typical
boere style. His
moniker in
SA is:
Die Mystic Boer, meaning, quite simply The
Mystical Farmer. I don't know if
Valiant is his real name, I suspect it has something to do with those
groovy big ass cars by the same name.
He has released 6 albums so far and has done some international gigs in London.
Albums:
Mystic Boer (Mystical Farmer)
Dorpstraat Revisited (Dorp Street Revisited)
Kopskoot (Headshot)
Roekeloos (Reckless)
Deur die Donker Vallei (Through the Valley of Darkness)
Voetstoots (As is - This one is difficult to explain in English, but it refers to when one is selling something in the condition it is in, meaning the buyer takes it as it is)
Random lyric sample:
Buitenkant, from Die Mystic Boer
"die wit kinders dans met die die Rastas vanaand
hoor hoe sing daai boer van Babylon
hey hey Vrydagaand met 'n bottel in die hand
Buitenkant"
(Translation:
"The white kids dance with the Rastas tonight
Listen to that farmer from Babylon singing
Hey Hey Friday night with a bottle in your hand
Buitenkant."
