Comments on South African music in Beijing
I enjoyed the music by cafca so amazing they really know what being on stage is thank you cafca and groups like mafikizolo
Great to see these South African artists in China. South African Music certainly is gettign momentum internationally with GoldFish, FreshlyGround, Tidal Waves and new bands such as aKing, VanCokeKartel, jacSharp & Captain Stu.
You can listen to South African music and discover new South African music online.
Simply search for "listen to South African music online" or "Free South African Music Downloads" to find Cape Town Magazine's online jukebox of Music from South Africa.
I would love to discover the rocking Chinese DJ's, bands and other musicians by listening online to them. Changes perceptions and connects you much quicker than 100 articles.
An idea for Danwei.org Jeremy?
