===Rock n roll=== [[Rock and roll|Rock n roll]] is widely celebrated by the white communities of Namibia. [[Die Vögel (band)|Die Vögel]] is one of Namibia's most outstanding rock n roll bands. The band had success with the [[German language|German]]-speaking Namibians during the 1970s. [[Stefan Ludik]] was Namibia's first ''[[Big Brother Africa]]'' participant in the show's [[Big Brother Africa (season 1)|first season]]. Today he is a successful rock n roll and [[pop music]]ian and actor. His music is more popular among the Namibian and [[South African people|South African]] white communities. G3 a duo of two young Namibians gained success with their hit single ''"Olupandu"'' in 2005. One of the country's most durable rock bands is Bedrock (The Band In The Sand). Formed in 1994 in Oranjemund, the band has released four albums of original material over the years: Recovery (2001), So, Where's The Party? (2003), Simplicity (2008) and Desert Rock (2010). They describe their sound as Desert Rock, an eclectic mix of styles from 1970s rock, blues, pop and folk. A feature of their compositions is the subtle thread of humour which underpins most of their work. The opening song of their debut album, Rock 'n' Roll, was voted by the South African Rock Digest as one of the Top 30 South African songs of 2003. It was also their first song to gain radio play. Despite numerous personnel changes over the years the band continues to thrive, playing regular gigs in and around Oranjemund.
