BEESKRAAL


Beeskraal is an original Rock 'n Roll band from Pretoria. Since they formed in 1998 the four musicians have become one of South Africa's top Rock acts. Their unique sound is a fusion of American Rock with traditional South African banjo and concertina. They draw on their influences of Kwaito and African reggae to create both a diverse and unique sound.

Loved by South African audiences, Beeskraal have performed at most major music festivals and big events throughout South Africa. They have a number of television, radio, newspaper and magazine coverage and in 2001 won a Kanna Award for Best Light Music Production and a Geraas Music Award for Best Group. In 2002 they were nominated for a South African Music Award for Best Rock Album.

Beeskraal has become the face of Afrikaans Rock music. They have released an EP and a full-length album, both of which were well received. Beeskraal is planning a tour to the Netherlands, Belgium and Australia.
