• South Africa has given us some of the most memorable voices from the African continent the soaring, passionate alto of Miriam Makeba, the purr and pounce of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the amazing sub-bass groaning of Mahlathini and these artists and many others all feature on Beginner’s Guide to South Africa.
• From the earliest colonial days until the present time, South African music has created itself out of the mingling of local ideas and forms with international influence, giving it all a special twist that carries with it the unmistakeable flavour of South Africa. |
