about
Klipwerf's current members are from diverse backgrounds, but like all before them, they still bring home the goodies! Hentie Visagie and his sons, Johann and Kobus, together with Nicol Louw started Klipwerf Boereorkes in 1969. They became enormously popular virtually overnight, and following the natural flow of things, recorded their first album almost 20 years later - in 1988. Since 1990 Klipwerf Orkes (namechange!) has been recording an album per year, and because of the unique style, demand for public performance has doubled and redoubled. Klipwerf has become a household name in South Africa, sparking countrywide performances. With sales in excess of 900 000 records, Klipwerf Orkes is the most successful South African tradisional band ever. Of their 25 albums and three DVDs, 22 have reached Gold status, and six Platinum.
