CHAPTER

Harmony and Resistance: Zulu Music in Context

This chapter examines the intersection of Zulu music and South Africa's apartheid politics, particularly through Paul Simon's 'Graceland.' It contrasts the global appreciation of South African artists with internal critiques of their cultural representation and explores the historical contexts of the Zulu and Xhosa communities. The discussion also touches on the evolution of Zulu musical traditions amidst commercialization and the contemporary music scene's response to global influences.
