The sound of the region
Maskandi and isicathamiya are Zulu musical traditions, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo — named partly after the KwaZulu-Natal town of Ladysmith — took isicathamiya's a cappella sound around the world. More recently, Durban's townships gave rise to gqom, a raw, bass-heavy style of electronic dance music. South African radio, African radio and Bollywood radio go further.
