Short Drive to Freedom

This maverick musician's first autobiography, Seks & Drugs & Boeremusiek became an iconic title. In his new title he writes with the same honesty and humour about his memories of the rebellious Voelvry movement, a rock 'n roll movement by a group of musicians which jolted many Afrikaans people out of their known certainties. As the movement gained momentum during their countrywide tour they won the Afrikaans youth over to their struggle against the government and apartheid. Koos Kombuis has again written a memoir that is witty, touching, horrific, amusing, confused, extravagant, provocative.
