DIE ANTWOORD - an awesome rap/rave group

One of my favourite bands at the moment is Cape Town 's Die Antwoord ( The answer )  .  Started in 2008 and consisting of 3 members - Ninja ( Watkin Tudor Jones ) , Yo-landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-tek.

Ninja is known for adopting different stage personas. In the case of Die Antwoord his persona is Ninja: a aggressive character who is very different from his previous incarnations. When asked whether Ninja was a character he said, "Ninja is, how can I say, like Superman is to Clark Kent. The only difference is, I don't take off this fokken Superman suit."

Die Antwoord performs music which incorporates many ZEF elements and references. Zef is a South African slang term that describes a unique South African style which is modern and trashy and also includes out-of-date, discarded cultural and style elements
