Die Antwoord

A kid with progeria enlisted in their music video, a concept called “Zef” (Afrikaans slang for redneck), an African location (Cape Town, South Africa) and a gangster attitude: that’s Die Antwoord (The Answer in German).

Last week, their Facebook group’s fans doubled, one of their Youtube videos has gotten 200,000 times, crashing the server it was hosted on.

Now the question is whether “Ninja”, blonde singer “Yo-Landi Vi$er” and DJ Hi-Tek are just a very well marketed plan coming straight out of a corporated brain or not…

Especialy when on their website you can find sponsors like Puma or a publishing by Sony…
