about kwaito… kwaito is at present South Africa's culture in music, but where did it start? How would you explain the kwaito sound to someone who'd never heard it? a good place to start would be to say that it's a mixture of all that 90’s South African youth grew up on South African disco music, Hip - Hop, R&B, Reggae, and a heavy, heavy dose of American and British house music. mix all of that up give it lots of local spice and attitude and you've got kwaito. Mostly, not always, the lyrics are chanted, not sung over a slowed-down bass heavy, electronically programmed house beat. the genre has variations of Reggae, R & B and Progressive House.
