2005 Mzansi Music Young Urban South Africa - Various Artists

"April 27th 2004 marked 10 years of democracy in South Africa. One of the benefits of post-94 South Africa is the freedom of expression. A freedom that, 20 years ago, was a luxury for black youths living in a country torn apart by apartheid. And the first place this freedom became visible was on the music scene in the form of an infectious, irresistible dance music called kwaito. In the early Nineties young black producers and DJ's, spurred on by the euphoria of a newly liberated South Africa, fused chanted lyrics (in Zulu and township slang), with imported house sounds and influences from South African eighties township pop as well as overseas hip-hop, R&B and Jamaican dancehall sounds. Whether it's young black owned record labels, youth radio stations like Y FM and fashion labels rooted in SA history and urban style - it's still the youth that are leading the way, just as they did in the anti- Apartheid struggle. Young South Africans created a brand new, funky, urban, globalised yet proudly South African cultural landscape. It started with Kwaito, but now ranges from Afrohouse to HipHop and spoken word poetry."
