| In South Africa, a new genre of music known as kwaito has been emerging since the early 1990s among the country's young urban black population. The whole thing is powered by a kicking soundtrack of Kwaito, the townships' tough, angry dance music form (Zola, one of the genre's superstars, plays a kind of crime boss in the film). Musically the country is rocking to its own beat--everything from traditional music that's fusing the sounds and rhythms of the country's various ethnic groups, gospel and the ultra hip urban beat of kwaito (kway-toh), South Africa's unique, funky hip-hop sound. |
