Kwaito is a recently invented
South African brew of
music, melded from
hip hop,
reggae, and
township rhythms that are unique to South Africa. It has fast grown into a
culture within the
black community and is also attracting fans from the other race groups. The top
artists achieve the status locally of the big hip hop and
rap artists from abroad.
The genre is reputed to have been spawned by musician Arthur Mofokate, and today the most popular artists are Mdu and TKZee.
