South Africa
Product Description
Putumayo presents South Africa, a CD collection that celebrates the rich musical diversity of this unique country at the southern tip of Africa.
Over the course of its history, this “Rainbow Nation” with 11 official languages has nurtured many musical styles, including mbaqanga, kwela and township jive, among others. While South Africans have endured many struggles, they have often used music as a tool to protest and to express their hopes for a better future.
A portion of Putumayo’s proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA), a non-profit organization working in South Africa to combat HIV/AIDS and advance human rights.
