JOHANNESBURG : Backed by silky synthesizers and down-tempo electronic beats, South African singer Msaki's new Afropop album revisits the 2012 killing by police of dozens of striking mine workers that she says inspired her to protest against social injustice.

Forty-four people died there in the most violent police crackdown since the end of white minority rule. "The first song I wrote was 'Blood, Guns and Revolutions' which was about Marikana and the platinum belt," she told Reuters TV in an interview."It seemed fitting. That was the moment that got me moving to make an album of protest."
