This is the updated and substantially expanded second edition of
Christopher Ballantine's classic Marabi Nights, which offers a
fascinating view of the triumphs and tragedies of South Africa's
marabi-jazz tradition. Based on conversations with legendary
figures in the world of music - as well as a perceptive reading of
music, the socio-political history, and social meanings - this book
is one of sensitive and impassioned curatorship. New chapters
extend the book's in-depth account of the birth and development of
South African urban-black popular music. They include a powerful
story about gender relations and music in the context of forced
migrant labor in the 1950s, a critical study of the legendary
Manhattan Brothers that uniquely positions their music and words in
relation to the apartheid system, and an account of the musical,
political, and commercial strategies of the local record industry.
A new afterword looks critically at the place of jazz and popular
music in South Africa since the end of apartheid, and argues for
the continued relevance of the robust, questioning spirit of the
marabi tradition. The book includes an illustrative CD of historic
sound recordings that the author has unearthed and saved from
oblivion.
