If you have never opened the door to Kwaito, maybe it’s time
you consider opening a window? I’m not asking you to erect a Brenda Fussy shrine in your bedroom but
I am asking you to extend your musical vocabulary, broaden your palate, break
out of your comfort zone and face the unknown! Ladies and gentlemen just give
it a chance…
So how do you know if you are even going to enjoy this
‘Kwaito’? If you would rather swallow a battery than go to a family reunion
then Kwaito is probably not for you. If you are a ‘social sitter’ – meaning
that you may extend a hello, but never your legs at a party then Kwaito is less
likely to be on your iPod. If the thought of choreographed steps makes you
sweat then maybe give Kwaito a miss? However, if you live for Friday
afternoons, where you consider your weekend starting after your first coffee
break, if you are the kind of person who would rather cast a line then meet a
deadline and if you feel as though music moves you, not emotionally but
physically moves you as though you’re a garden gnome being shuffled around the
garden by an elderly women with OCD then Kwaito is for you!
