Below I want to mention a few of musical genres we have in South Africa. Probably that you were not aware of or did not even knew they existed. We have Kwela-kwela, Marabi, Mbube, Isicathamiya, Gumbout, Makwaya, Mbaqanga, Toyi toyi and Kwaito. These are South African Musical Genres. However they played a crucial and major role in fighting for apartheid regime because during the apartheid era pupils or natives were not granted freedom of speech but through music they expressed themselves.
In this blog I want to emphasise and highlight on the three types of genres which are Kwaito, House music and Hip hop. These genres had taken our generation by storm from 1990s till to date. Kwaito music invented the music industry during 1990s. During that era Kwaito was making waves mentioning groups such as Trompies, Bongo Maffin and Boom Shaka. Then House music invented which seems like, the majority of our generation listen to at the moment. I think House music is about spiritual feeling that exploits the body and the mind to the lovers of House music.
Still House music is gradually fading hence it invented and was popular in 2000 till today. Yet Hip hop music is becoming more and more popular nowadays. It is taking the target audience especially female and males living in urban area by storm. Nevertheless you are being classified as cool and stylish if you are the fan. In addition all these genres and their shift they demonstrate that nothing last for eternity but music amend with time and generation.
