just browsing FactMag today and found they had just written up an article about the South African 'kwaito' music movement.

For me Kwaito is like a slower version of Kuduro... even the dance is similar

that Mujava track is wicked! :D

Funky sounds like Kwaito you mean Leeno?

I'm seriously loving Kwaito right now.

for posting that sick ass mix. all the earlier kwaito tracks ive heard sound like slowed down house.

if youre new to south african music be sure to peek the INDESTRUCTABLE BEAT OF SOWETO series. For township jive. you will here the galloping beats and a unique style of fonky bassline.
