BioBittereinder, a Pretoria-based South African rap/electro band founded in 2009 by Jaco van der Merwe, Peach van Pletzen, and Louis Minnaar, became known for their dynamic performances in Afrikaans. The trio, originating from Afrikaans-speaking families, navigated the complexities of post-Apartheid South Africa's language dynamics. Van der Merwe's childhood struggles influenced the band's positive approach to Afrikaans identity. Their debut album, 'n Ware Verhaal, marked their entry into the music scene. Bittereinder's impact grew with collaborations, international tours, and their label, Wêreld Records. Despite code-switching between Afrikaans and English, their lyrics carry a hopeful and proud narrative. Their fifth album, Volksvreemde Vertalings, released in 2022, showcases a calmer and more introspective style.
