About Kwaito
Post-apartheid liberation music. Kwaito slowed down house beats and layered them with township slang, becoming the voice of South Africa's youth in the 1990s. Brenda Fassie, TKZee, and Bongo Maffin brought it alive on every dance floor, soundtracking the euphoria of the rainbow nation era.
