Machiel Roets is currently living in the UK. His first album "Afrika Kind" is all about the longing for home, the sun, Africa and its people. It is also the first afrikaans album to be recorded and produced in the UK. The music video of "Afrika Kind" is doing extremely well on MK89. South Africans who have been out of the country for some time will strongly identify with his lyrics and music. A heartfelt cry for home that will also put a smile on your face.
