South Africa:
i dont have much information about it, but in south Africa (in general, the english language is used alot in the music. cultures have thier differences in music, for example, the Zolo of south Africa have thier special type of music, with great dance performance.
the southren african music is the most modernized in Africa (my opinion). they have developed a good harmony with the new musical instruments.
political songs are very common. love songs, and the other themes also exist. the southren African artists are the best in adapting western styles of music, like rock, and reggae (which is not actually so wetern, but will count it as one in this article).
some the big Artists in the South of Africa:
The White Zolo: a white man, with the zolo spirit. a good performer and representitive of the music of the Zolo people.
Lucky Dube: a great phenomenon from Shouth Africa. a guitar player, and a song writer. he started his musical career as a Zolo singer, for he is a Zolo, and then moved to sing in rock music style. today he is one of the world famous reggae singers. his style is so special that u can tell his song by only listening to the music.
Abdullah Ibrahim: formerly known as Dollar Brand, was a South African jazz pioneer when he joined Hugh Masekela in the Jazz Epistles in the early 1960s. He soon left to travel in Europe and the U.S. where he got encouragement from mentor Duke Ellington. Ibrahim now lives in New York and occasionally travels to South Africa to perform.
that's all i have for the south african music..and will continue with the rest parts of africa.
