Hi Everyone, Here’s a book I started reading, which I really enjoy because it’s engagingly written and treats the socio-cultural contexts of SA popular music: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/south-african-popular-music-9781501383427/
Carey Idle and Edd Bateman-
Any artists to listen to alongside that?

@edd yup! they’ve got a bunch of artists they recommend:
everything from Solomon Linda’s “Mubue” to Miriam Makeba’s “Lovely Lies” and “Pata Pata” to “Tom Hark” and “King Kong” to Hugh Masekela’s “Grazing in the Grass” and “Bring Him Back Home” to Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s “Nomathemba” to Peter Gabriel’s “Biko” and Paul Simon’s Graceland, Boyoyo Boys’ “Tsotsi,” Juluku’s “African Sky Blue” to Mango Groove’s “Special Star” and Boom Shaka’s “Thobela” to Black Coffee’s “Drive.”
It’s really extensive!
