Francois Van Coke had no idea what to expect when he released his self-titled debut album on the 8^th of April last year. It turned out to be a year of unbounded success with numerous number ones, sold out shows, awards and shattered records left in its wake.

Exactly one year later Francois is proud to present his fifth solo music video, featuring his childhood hero, Arno Carstens and directed by his Fokofpolisiekar bandmate Hunter Kennedy. “Ek Weet Nie” is one of the best tracks off his solo album and the video is pretty damn amazing.

“Ek Weet Nie” is an artistic visual feast that portrays Francois’ gripping ode to uncertainty and our shared eternal search for identity. “Ek raak ouer, maar die oplossing kom nog nie.” (“I’m getting older, but I still don’t have the answers.”). Special thanks to Photo Hire, Jägermeister, Scar Hair and SAE Institute South Africa for their support. Check out the video below:
