Watervolk is an eclectic, live music performance by the touring Dutch band, Souldada. This is their first return to South Africa since their previous invitation to Darling in 2008, where they will be performing again at this year's 'Voorkamer' festival. Their sound and lyrics is a mixture of African, Papiamento, Frysian, English, Dutch and French. This mix of languages, and World music, contributes to the unique sound that is Watervolk. The title, Watervolk is taken from a poem by the South African writer Carina Stander. Time is like a river of passing events. The water always flows different. It is a metaphor for the ever-changing nature of life.
The best Dutch World music ever.

'Watervolk' has got a lot of beautiful songs.
- Hessel Fluitman

Femke has got a expressive wonderful voice. It fits perfectly in Watervolk. 
- Assie Aukes

Because of the great singing the Frisian language is just as beautiful as the African.
