 Classic Documentary on South AfricaMay 15, 2001
This is a well-known classic music documentary on South Africa. A point of reference as a report and as one of the first explorations of this rich scene. It is mentioned on the 'Graceland' album cover notes as the place where Paul Simon first saw Ladysmith! Beautifully produced, edited and shot. Pleasurable!

Excellent documentary, the soundtrack is even better!Oct 10, 2001

This is an excellent documentary not only of the South African music scene, but also about life in Black S/A during the aparthied days while Mandela had yet to be freed. We enjoy the entertaining music along with seeing the horrible conditions that produce this genre. However, if you like this, there is an excellent soundtrack of this documentary that features some music that did not appear in the film that was on a CD from Shanachie records. Y'all need to BRING THAT BACK in print and enjoy.

One of the best collections of S/A musicMay 02, 2003
By Andre M.
"brnn64"
This is the excellent soundtrack to the 1970s documentary of the same name about South African music. An excellent introduction to S/A Music. Ladysmith Black Mambazo contributes two really nice tunes (their second selection is a real toe-tapper) acapella. There is a lovely instrumental featuring just guitars and congas and an equally sweet gospel song. But the highlights are the live selections from the S/A counterpart to the Apollo Theater from the documentary. The tune that features the Mahotella Queens will get you hooked even if you don't have a clue of what's being said. You feel it, though. This is hard to find, but WELL worth the effort.

Wonderful achieval footage!Feb 27, 2007

This was a huge surprise seeing early Mohotlla Queens and Sipho and Johnny (Clegg) in their youthful exhuberance. This is a must for anyone who really loves and wants to understand the uniqueness of South African Music. Follow this with Amandla, perhaps.
 Rhythm of Resistance-Black South African MusicAug 10, 2011
By Composer56
I think there should have been more in the video about South African music and the rhythms of resistance as there are so many numerous examples such as what South Africans call 'Toy Toy'. From 1976 the students of South Africa came up with a lot of rhythmic music expressing resistance to the Apartheid regime and to my opinion those are the real rhythms of resistance. However this video is good for those people who would like to know how was the music past of the black people of South Africa e.g. the music of the migrant workers and other local musician during the hard times in South Africa. Otherwise, for me I expected more because I know the music history of South Africa.
