Album Description
South Africa is one of the great powerhouses of African music. Home to a vast array of striking musical styles and world-renowned artists, its recording industry stretches back to the early 20th century. This all-new second edition of 'The Rough Guide To South African Music' features the classic voice of Miriam Makeba, the African jazz of Abdullah Ibrahim, the lilting violins of the Soweto String Quartet, the African reggae of Lucky Dube (listen out for his alter ego Oom Hansie), and the unique a cappella style of Ladysmith Black Mambazo. A perfect introduction to the sounds of the rainbow nation.
