A major new contribution to the study of African music, Soweto
Blues tells the remarkable story of how jazz became a key part of
South Africa's struggle in the 20th century, and provides a
fascinating overview of the ongoing links between African and
American styles of music. Ansell illustrates how jazz occupies an
unique place in South African music. Through interviews with
hundreds of musicians, she pieces together a vibrant narrative
history, bringing to life the early politics of resistance, the
atmosphere of illegal performance spaces, the global anti-apartheid
influence of Hugh Masakela and Miriam Makeba, as well as the
post-apartheid upheavals in the national broadcasting and recording
industries. Featuring an introduction by Abdullah Ibrahim, Soweto
Blues is a fitting tribute to the power of music to inspire
optimism and self-expression in the darkest of times.
