Janelle Botha & Die Wandelaars

Raw. Authentic. Unapologetically Namibian.

Discover The Vibe

The Namibian Heartbeat

We weren't formed, we were forged. What started as casual jams quickly became a mission: to write the soundtrack of the Namibian experience.

In 2023, the silence broke. We crashed onto the local scene with the heartbeat of modern Afrikaans rock, exploring the raw truths of life.
