Subject: RE: Music of South Africa
Gwen, thanks for that information!

I'm definitely going to check out those artists who you mentioned.

Also, Gwen, you wrote that "'I know this is a folk thread, but I cannot exclude her from my own view of SA music".

I just wanted to mention that the definition of folk music is fluid here at Mudcat. Some here have a wider definition of what folk music is than others.

But even if there are some Mudcatters who thought that all the artists you mentioned didn't belong to the folk music genre, the thread title is "Music of South Africa". Therefore as far as I'm concened-all those artists fit- and I'm sure there are more! In other words, please don't hesitate to refer us to artists whose music you admire.

Best wishes,


Azizi
