   Blending a musical history with cultural insights, April 9, 2005

   By 

   Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) –

   This review is from: Soweto Blues: Jazz, Popular Music, and Politics in South Africa (Hardcover)

   Dozens of South African jazz musicians who lived through the apartheid years contribute to Soweto Blues: Jazz, Popular Music, And Politics In South Africa, a hard-hitting discussion of how apartheid impacted the lives of ordinary people and musicians alike – and how struggles against it fostered new roads in music. The biographies, memoirs and recollections of a range of musicians blend with Gwen Ansell’s survey of social life, politics and culture in South Africa, blending a musical history with cultural insights. Soweto Blues is well researched, intimate, and powerful: a ‘must’ for any fan of South African music and history.
