Subject: RE: South African Music
Viz a Vie South African music, My Nottingham Clarion Choir sings songs of struggle, protest, peace, environment etc. We have related material from many international sources (I hesitate to call these "world music") The African songs we have recorded are: Erile Umkonto We Sizwe Siyahamba Ndoda Senzenina Hamba Kahle Mevi Nkose Sikelele also unrecorded: Shosholoza Shona Malanga Singabahambayo Thina Baba Mandela
I dont't think Mudcat is particularly Euro-Centric, I think its bigger than that, and the reason is that Euorpeans & American based migrants have a more developed sence of internationalism than the average American.
