For students of world music and world cultures, this authoritative work provides an in-depth survey of the full spectrum of black and white South African music. In 1986, Paul Simon's Graceland introduced millions to the sounds of South Africa. But Simon's album explores only a few of the many types of music originating within South Africa's border's a musical culture that epitomizes the enormous ethnic, religious, linguistic, class and gender diversity of the nation itself. The author looks at how South Africans (black and white) have used music to express a sense of place in South Africa, on the African continent, and around the world. Drawing on extensive field and archival research, as well as her own personal experiences, noted ethnomusicologist and South African native Carol A. Muller explores the range of sources that make music from South Africa related to, yet so distinct from, other music from the African continent and around the world. The accompanying CD offers vividexamples of traditional, popular, and classical South African musical styles.

THE SOUNDS OF SOUTH AFRICA-Confronting the end of Apartheid and the beginning of AIDS covers the years 1988 to 1992, when the country is in uncertain transition out of Apartheid and the author also personally experiences the AIDS crisis. Flashbacks reveal incidents in previous years, when Pieter becomes the author's life partner. The story includes Pieter's spiritual growth and its influence on the author. During his first visit to Pieter from New York in 1980, the author hopes to hear the sounds of African animals and birds. Later, other sounds occur. Gunfire erupts from the street below their apartment. In 1988, Pieter tests positive for HIV. They expect him to live several years and be saved by new drugs. Pieter is well, and he continues his job with South African Airways as Chief Steward. The author's contacts from New York in theatrical work result in interesting contracts. They are optimistic and deny a tragic future. They return to the author's apartment in New York for Christmas. Violence increases in South Africa. With the economy failing, they experience financial difficulties. The author goes back to work in New York for two months and learns more about the AIDS crisis. Pieter becomes seriously ill, but he survives. He is determined to continue working, although the airline refuses to let him fly and demotes him to an office job, with reduced salary. His case is the first to overturn that ruling. His full salary is restored. In 1990, the political situation gets worse. Nelson Mandela is released from prison. Violence escalates. Pieter experiences a bombing at the airport, and a car bomb explodes near the author's theatre. Their future is uncertain. Pieter becomes weaker. Three contracts give the author some financial stability. The contracts are completed and he devotes his time to caring for Pieter at home, which they both desire. With no assistance from Pieter's family, the author hires an aide to help him until Pieter's death. A final contract, friends, and a therapist help him cope. Pieter's estate, sale of the apartment and official documents are difficult because government offices are in chaos. Finally, the move back to New York City is completed, and the author is with good friends and in his apartment with their two cats from South Africa.

Focus: Music of South Africa provides an in-depth look at the full spectrum of South African music, a musical culture that epitomizes the enormous ethnic, religious, linguistic, class, and gender diversity of the nation itself. Drawing on extensive field and archival research, as well as her own personal experiences, noted ethnomusicologist and South African native Carol A. Muller looks at how South Africans have used music to express a sense of place in South Africa, on the African continent, and around the world. Part One, Creating Connections, provides introductory materials for the study of South African Music. Part Two, Musical Migrations, moves to a more focused overview of significant musical styles in twentieth-century South Africa -- particularly those known through world circuits. Part Three, Focusing In, takes the reader into the heart of two musical cultures with case studies on South African jazz and the music of the Zulu-language followers of Isaiah Shembe. The accompanying downloadable resources offer vivid examples of traditional, popular, and classical South African musical styles.

South Africa possesses one of the richest popular music traditions in the world - from marabi to mbaqanga, from boeremusiek to bubblegum, from kwela to kwaito. Yet the risk that future generations of South Africans will not know their musical roots is very real. Of all the recordings made here since the 1930s, thousands have been lost for ever, for the powers-that-be never deemed them worthy of preservation. And if one peruses the books that exist on South African popular music, one still fi nds that their authors have on occasion jumped to conclusions that were not as foregone as they had assumed. Yet the fault lies not with them, rather in the fact that there has been precious little documentation in South Africa of who played what, or who recorded what, with whom, and when. This is true of all music-making in this country, though it is most striking in the musics of the black communities. Beyond Memory: Recording the History, Moments and Memories of South African Music is an invaluable publication because it offers a first-hand account of the South African music scene of the past decades from the pen of a man, Max Thamagana Mojapelo, who was situated in the very thick of things, thanks to his job as a deejay at the South African Broadcasting Corporation. This book - astonishing for the breadth of its coverage - is based on his diaries, on interviews he conducted and on numerous other sources, and we find in it not only the well-known names of recent South African music but a countless host of others whose contribution must be recorded if we and future generations are to gain an accurate picture of South African music history of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
