“Musikaners” bestaan uit ’n groep professionele musici wat benewens die beroepe wat hulle beoefen, ook op uitnodiging optree. Hoewel hulle verskeie musiekgenres beoefen, is almal passievol oor die Afrikaans volkslied. Met die CD "Solank as die rietjie" wil hulle dié vrolike en nostalgiese volksjuwele koester en bewaar.

----------

The CD release "Solank as die rietjie"* is a welcome addition to the ongoing process of preserving Afrikaans folklore and music. Because of the passion they al have in common for the traditional Afrikaans song, a group of professional singers and musicians called "Musikaners"** made it their task and joy to record some of these songs.
