Music gives our lives expression

Steve Biko states this when he speaks on culture: when we are sad, we sing; when we are happy, we sing. When we are engaged in struggle, we sing.Perhaps traditional music is able to respond even abstractly to some of the anxieties that we face

The past couple of years have seen a rise in the popularity of traditional music and sect-based music. This might have begun a long time ago with the popularity of Shwi noMtekhala’s hit song Ngafa. This thinking is limited because it takes away from the rich value that this music offers. If we listen closely to these songs, we might find that there is much that can be read and learnt from them beyond just focusing on the locales that they emerge from.

There could be many reasons, but persuasive to me is that the country is disenchanted with that falsity of the “rainbow” and all its condiments. This is to say the people are fed up with living a lie and perhaps there is an authenticity that can be found within traditional music.

Is this for real? Have you nothing else to write about.....patheitc so many years at an institution and this is it....wow mediocrity
