Greetings all,
I'm looking for songs in the English tradition idiom that are from South Africa. Any help?
Thanks,
Blackcatter

The artists most known for SOuth African folksong collecting are Josef Mirais and his wife Miranda. Their songs include those derived from the English tradition, the Dutch tradition, and a touch of Zulu here and there. From memory, some of their favorite songs:
We've Been Invited to Henrietta's Wedding Out in the Wide World, Kitty Oh, Brandy Leave Me Alone The Zulu Warrior Around the Corner, Behind the Bush I'll See My Little Darlin' When the Sun Goes Down Ian Vidiavitch (sp?) Tonight All the Folks Will Cut the Corn
