Imagine Afrikaans Songs as music in the vernacular and with a limited audience. Perhaps so, but Afrikaans Songs has got a devoted following, too, although its follower base may not be as large as those of hip hop and amapiano.
That notwithstanding, there are many songs in the genre and you will have no problem finding something that suits your musical taste. In this post, we are going to bring some top songs in the genre – Top 10 Afrikaans songs (2020) so to speak.
Of course, as you probably already know, opinion is subjective and the songs that appear here might not be what you have in mind or what you would have on a list were you to be asked to make one. Anyway, join us as we take a leap into the world of top Afrikaans songs.
The songs appear in no particular order. If you find a song released earlier than 2020, know that it is a work of great musical energy and retains its appeal long after it was released. So, no qualms. Now come along.
