It is a variant of [[house music]] that features the use of African sounds and [[Sampling (music)|samples]]. Kwaito songs occur at a slower tempo range than other styles of house music and often contain catchy melodic and percussive loop samples, deep bass lines and vocals. They are also very similar tempos to early 1990s NYC house tracks. ==Etymology== The word ''kwaito'' originates from the South African slang "kwaai," which conveys the meaning of "cool" or "bad" in a positive context. The term "kwaai" itself is rooted in Afrikaans, where it initially signified "angry" or "fierce." However, within the framework of South African youth culture, its connotation had shifted to represent something fashionable or noteworthy.<ref name=":5">{{Cite news|url=http://www.sahistory.org.za/article/kwaito|title=Kwaito|last=Anonymous|date=2011-03-22|work=South African History Online|access-date=2017-11-15|archive-date=6 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906225017/http://www.sahistory.org.za/article/kwaito|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.netwerk24.com/Nuus/Algemeen/kwaito-woeker-tog-te-lekker-met-afrikaans-20171008|title=Kwaito woeker tog te lekker met Afrikaans|work=Netwerk24|access-date=2017-11-15|language=en|archive-date=15 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171115222029/https://www.netwerk24.com/Nuus/Algemeen/kwaito-woeker-tog-te-lekker-met-afrikaans-20171008|url-status=live}}</ref> Kwaito led a post-Apartheid township subculture into the mainstream despite the fact that the [[Afrikaans]] language is associated with the apartheid regime and racial oppression, Afrikaans words are often drawn into the [[Sabela]] and [[Tsotsitaal and Camtho]] vocabularies, reshaped and used in a related or new context.

Schools in the townships were burdened by severe financial limitations and were unable to offer programs such as music classes that might have enriched students' educational experiences. During and shortly after the apartheid era, the South African education system was characterized by severe segregation and inequality. Schools in [[township]]s received scant resources and inadequate support in comparison to those in more affluent areas, further constraining educational opportunities for township students. In this context, kwaito emerged as a genre that did not necessitate formal music theory, extensive rehearsal space, or costly instruments, thus proving particularly accessible to individuals in these disadvantaged communities. The genre's minimal barriers to entry enabled young people in the townships to engage with music and exercise their creativity, despite the constraints imposed by their educational and economic environments.<ref name="autogenerated12">Magubane, Zine.

In the early 1990s, house music made its way to [[Cape Town]] through [[rave]]s such as the [[World Peace Party]] and in iconic venues like [[Club Eden]], followed by Euphoria and DV8. Concurrently, house music also began to influence [[Durban]]'s nightlife scene. This musical movement then spread northward, gaining prominence in [[Johannesburg]] clubs like 4th World. Durban also made significant contributions. In 1994, Sandy B released the album ''AmaJovi Jovi'', which achieved major national success and is acknowledged as the first kwaito album from [[KwaZulu-Natal]]. As kwaito attained mainstream prominence in South Africa, collaborations became increasingly prevalent, exemplified by the notable collaborations between South African [[R&B]] artists such as [[Danny K]] and, [[Mandoza]]. Kwaito hits frequently attracted significant media attention. Arthur Mafokate's August 2005 release, "Sika Lekhekhe" (a Zulu expression that translates literally to "cut this cake" and figuratively to "have sex with me") generated considerable controversy. The song was banned by the South African Broadcasting Corporation ([[SABC]]) radio station, and Mafokate was required to reshoot the song's music video in response to viewer complaints regarding its [[Sexual suggestiveness|sexually suggestive]] content.

Vocals in kwaito are typically delivered in a conversational or narrative style. Lyrics are performed in various South African languages, such as Zulu, [[Sotho language|Sotho]], and Afrikaans, and explore themes ranging from social and political commentary to personal experiences and celebratory subjects. Sometimes kwaito lyrics are explicit, reflecting the genre’s engagement with real-life issues and experiences.

It originated before it had an official name and was influenced by more diverse house music styles than traditional kwaito. Durban kwaito began to take shape driven by a new wave of artists and producers preponderantly from Durban who infused traditional kwaito sounds with local drum rhythms and progressive production techniques. Key figures in the development of Durban kwaito include DJ Fisherman, Durban's Finest ([[DJ Tira]] and DJ Sox), Sandy B, DJ Tira, [[Big Nuz]], L'vovo, [[DJ Cleo]], Danger, Shana, [[Professor (musician)|Professor]], Character, Tzozo, Sox, [[Zakes Bantwini]], DJ Siyanda, [[NaakMusiQ]], Unathi, DJ Cndo and DJ Bongz who were instrumental in popularizing the Durban kwaito sound, characterized by its incorporation of faster tempos, [[tribal house]], [[deep house]], [[Electro (music)|electro]] and regional influences (such as associated musicians like DJ Tira who performed on the Spanish island of [[Ibiza]] known for its house music and rave scene for two years, 2000 and 2001). The isiZulu term ''Isgubhu'' refers to a drum or beat emitting from speakers, that became synonymous with Durban kwaito. Durban kwaito's sound influenced the development of [[DJ Spoko#Bacardi house|bacardi house]] and later [[gqom]]. The word "gqom", which could be interpreted as "hitting drum" in the Zulu language later evolved into a distinct spinoff and subsequently birthed the subgenre, [[Gqom#Sgubhu|sgubhu]] (not to be confused with the term or Durban kwaito). Due to its significant influence on the gqom genre, Durban kwaito, is often conflated with or referred to as gqom.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Motshegoa |first=Lebo |title=Township Talk: The Language, the Culture, the People : the A-Z Dictionary of South Africa's Township Lingo |date=2005 |publisher=Juta and Company Ltd |isbn=978-1-77013-007-4 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Gaotlhobogwe |first=Monkagedi |date=2011-03-10 |title=Umlilo DJ descends on Bull N Bush |url=https://www.mmegi.bw/arts-culture/umlilo-dj-descends-on-bull-n-bush/news |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=Mmegi Online |language=en |archive-date=9 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240809123632/https://www.mmegi.bw/arts-culture/umlilo-dj-descends-on-bull-n-bush/news |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Reporter |first=Staff |date=2013-04-12 |title=Durban kwaito uptempo and uptown |url=https://mg.co.za/article/2013-04-12-00-durban-kwaito-uptempo-and-uptown/ |access-date=2024-08-08 |website=The Mail & Guardian |language=en-ZA |archive-date=5 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705064051/https://mg.co.za/article/2013-04-12-00-durban-kwaito-uptempo-and-uptown/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Steingo"/><ref>{{Cite web |last=Langa |first=Phumlani S. |year=2017 |title=Who are South Africa's biggest producers? |url=https://www.news24.com/life/who-are-south-africas-biggest-producers-20170917 |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=News24 |language=en-US |archive-date=9 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240809123702/https://www.news24.com/life/who-are-south-africas-biggest-producers-20170917 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-05-16 |title=The oral history of Durban Kwaito Music |url=https://www.redbull.com/za-en/dj%20tira%20red%20bull%20culture%20clash%20preview |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=Red Bull |language=en |archive-date=13 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211113075440/https://www.redbull.com/za-en/dj%20tira%20red%20bull%20culture%20clash%20preview |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Ndabeni |first1=Esinako |title=Born To Kwaito: Reflections on the kwaito generation |last2=Mthembu |first2=Sihle |date=2018-08-01 |publisher=Blackbird Books |isbn=978-1-928337-78-2 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Mkahbela |first=Sabelo |date=18 October 2017 |title=The 10 Best Kwaito Producers |url=https://www.okayafrica.com/kwaito-producers-best-south-africa/ |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=OkayAfrica |language=en |archive-date=4 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231204164535/https://www.okayafrica.com/kwaito-producers-best-south-africa/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Banjo |first=Omotayo O. |title=Media Across the African Diaspora: Content, Audiences, and Influence |date=2018-07-04 |publisher=Taylor & Francis |isbn=978-1-351-66019-8 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Yates |first=Jodie |date=2019-06-20 |title=The power of kwaito music: In conversation with Sandy B |url=https://pan-african-music.com/en/the-power-of-kwaito-music-in-conversation-with-sandy-b-2/ |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=PAM - Pan African Music |language=en-US |archive-date=7 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231207211319/https://pan-african-music.com/en/the-power-of-kwaito-music-in-conversation-with-sandy-b-2/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-30 |title=Amapiano: What is it all about? |url=https://www.musicinafrica.net/magazine/amapiano-what-it-all-about |access-date=2024-08-08 |website=Music In Africa |language=en |archive-date=4 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240804095811/https://www.musicinafrica.net/magazine/amapiano-what-it-all-about |url-status=live }}</ref> ==== Future Kwaito ==== Future Kwaito blends traditional kwaito with gqom, [[drone music]], [[industrial music]] and traditional house music developed by Stiff Pap in the late 2010s.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-11-01 |title=A New Generation of South Africans Are Reviving 90s Genre Kwaito |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/vbj4ej/south-africa-new-kwaito-generation-scene-report-feature |access-date=2024-08-09 |archive-date=1 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101073935/https://www.vice.com/en/article/vbj4ej/south-africa-new-kwaito-generation-scene-report-feature |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-01-03 |title=DJ Tira, Kid X, KO: The stars behind kwaito's revival |url=https://www.redbull.com/us-en/dont-call-it-kwaito |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=Red Bull |language=en |archive-date=2 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240502042858/https://www.redbull.com/us-en/dont-call-it-kwaito |url-status=live }}</ref> === Guz === TKZee’s, "guz" sound exemplified a fusion of kwaito with hip hop elements, signifying a significant evolution within the genre.

Lebo Mathosa, who was one of kwaito's most famous female artists and a member of Boom Shaka, noted that it is "difficult because every producer that you meet in our country is male there isn't even one female producer that you could say ok I like that record that is produced by so and so."<ref>{{cite web | title = The Kwaito Story: Lebo Mathosa Interviewed by Aryan Kaganof | date = 24 September 2006 | url = http://kaganof.com/kagablog/2006/09/24/the-kwaito-story-lebo-mathosa-interviewed-by-aryan-kaganof/ | access-date = 27 February 2008 | archive-date = 5 July 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180705180235/http://kaganof.com/kagablog/2006/09/24/the-kwaito-story-lebo-mathosa-interviewed-by-aryan-kaganof/ | url-status = live }}</ref> Others accuse kwaito as being talentless, commercialized and mass-produced, consisting of sexually-driven lyrics and dances.<ref>{{cite web | last = McCloy | first = Maria | title = Fast Cars and Death Threats | date = 24 January 1997 | url = http://www.chico.mweb.co.za/mg/art/reviews/97jan/24jan-fastcars.html | access-date = 27 February 2008 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20051129213637/http://www.chico.mweb.co.za/mg/art/reviews/97jan/24jan-fastcars.html |archive-date = 29 November 2005 }}</ref> Being male-dominated, kwaito tends to misrepresent women in their lyrics by referencing the body and sexual images. Some kwaito groups like Trompies are using the image of the woman to make a social and political statement. In one of their music videos, there is a beauty contest and the women that win and get all the male attention are all on the heavier side. The group is trying to say that today's perception and definition of beauty does not have to adhere to other cultures' societal standards.<ref name="Sonjah">[[Sonjah Stanley Niaah|Stanley-Niaah, Sonjah]].

In Thokozani Mhlambi's article "Kwaitofabulous", he points out various European scholars who have disclaimed the authenticity of hip hop as they believe it to undermine the cultural and historical struggles of the South African people because of Kwaito's similarity with American hip hop. Mhlambi, however, disclaims by pointing out that the Black youth of America and South Africa have faced similar oppressive histories by the white population, and thus makes sense to have its music similar as well. He also points out that the criticism from onlookers from other cultures do not realize how both kwaito and hip hop require performances and music making to be a group process and thus requires collaboration. He believes kwaito and hip hop to have many similarities due to both genre's origins; however, he does not believe kwaito to be a direct descendant of hip hop.<ref name=autogenerated13 /> Furthermore, many scholars and researchers of the genre, including Gavin Steingo, agree with Mhlambi in that they disclaim the idea that kwaito is purely South African hip hop. Steingo writes in an article titled "South African music after Apartheid: kwaito, the 'party politic,' and the appropriation of gold as a sign of success" that the genre was influenced by both house music and American hip hop, while also drawing on inspiration from ancient African music. Therefore, kwaito cannot be simply the South African version of hip hop. Also, Steingo writes that a version of hip hop music does already exist in the country, and it is not kwaito: "Because of seemingly obvious parallels between African American youth culture and the new Black South African youth culture, people have been inclined to think of kwaito as South African hip hop, or a South African version of hip hop (In 2000, Sterns/Earthworks released a kwaito compilation CD in the UK called ''Kwaito—South African Hip Hop''). It would seem that this perceived familiarity is based primarily on the shared characteristic of rhyming in verse. And, though this is not totally invalid, it should be stated that there is a South African version of hip hop in South Africa and it is not (and has even come into conflict with) kwaito."<ref name="bnet" /> Additionally, it is difficult to define Kwaito as a type of South African hip hop, as there is an actual emergent hip-hop scene. As kwaito, for the most part, remains apolitical, the hip hop scene, although less popular, generates a more political and gangster-esque style. This difference is described by the South African hip hop group Godessa, "Hip-hop is universal. We were excluded from Kwaito because we cannot understand it. To us, music is not just about dancing, it is a vehicle for us to speak to the masses."<ref name="bnet" /> Similarly, hip hop is gaining popularity in Johannesburg, kwaito's stomping ground, and its emergence is fostering a rivalry of sorts, further separating the two genres. As Kwaito is more of a mixture of hip hop, disco, and house, the hip hop scene mirrors a more American style of hip-hop.<ref>[http://www.southafrica.info/what_happening/arts_entertainment/hiphopmusic_190503.htm "Jozi's Hip Hop Revolution," 20 May 2003 accessed on 2-29-08] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080417005409/http://www.southafrica.info/what_happening/arts_entertainment/hiphopmusic_190503.htm |date=17 April 2008 }}</ref> Regardless of criticism, kwaito music now plays an important and prominent role in South African youth culture.{{According to whom|date=February 2017}} ==Cultural context and implications== {{Copyedit|date=August 2024|section}} Kwaito is viewed as a cultural product of the societal norms and historical context of the townships of South Africa.{{According to whom|date=February 2017}} It is both affected by Black South African society and influences the popular culture of Johannesburg, Cape Town, and their surrounding suburbs. Kwaito serves a transmitter of popular fashion, language, and attitude. Kwaito has also been adopted by mainstream advertisers and production companies as a means of addressing the masses and selling products. A combination of the popularity of Kwaito music and the search by transnational marketers for a means of addressing Soweto youth (considered to be popular cultures' trendsetters) has led to the use of Kwaito music as a method for advertising mainstream North American products.<ref>Magubane, Zine.

Songs such as Arthur Mafokate's song 'Kaffir' addresses the prevalence of direct racism and Zola's song Mblwembe (problem child) reflects the prevalence of crime in the townships serve as a means of social dialogue.<ref>'Kwaitofabulous: The Study of a South African Urban Genre by Thokozani Mhlambi, Published in the Journal of The Musical Arts in Africa Volume 1 2004,116–127</ref> A third way in which a specific aspect black South African Society is reflected by Kwaito is in the dancehall nature of its origins and rhythms. It shows the prevalence of the dancehall in the impoverished townships and flat lands and illustrates the importance of the dancehall as a cultural meeting place. South African Kwaito enthusiast Nhlanhla Sibongile Mafu best articulated the balance between social commentary and recreation when he said, "dancing itself becomes the site for a radical rejection of the traditional struggle lyrics in favour of the liberation of pleasure, while at the same time attempting to use the language of the street to grapple with and articulate the present reality for the man and woman in the streets of the ghetto".<ref>Kagablog, posted 18 December 2007 by Nhlanhla Sibongile Mafu, johannesburg, 2002</ref> It is said that " ...a repressive society would result in a creative art...it is an ingredient, it acts as a catalyst to a man who is committed."<ref name="Sonjah" /> In 1994 apartheid ended in South Africa. Kwaito music in South Africa became a symbol of the new generation of youth; furthermore it was not just music, but it stood for a way of life and associated with it was a way of talk, dance, and dress.<ref>*Swink, Simone.

Accessed 28 February 2008.</ref> Kwaito reflects life for the South African youth in the townships, much in the same manner that American hip hop portrays life in the American ghetto. This type of music seems to be the newly unsilenced voice of the people speaking out freely in their society. Critics have compared Kwaito to other international subgenres such as Jamaica's dancehall and the UK's grime. Dancehall was founded in the 1950s and '60s right when Jamaicans were trying to gain independence from the British. Similarly Kwaito was formed right after the apartheid was lifted in South Africa, both by young members of the lower class. Additionally both have "taken cues from the trends of new governments that supposedly gave rise to the advancement of personal wealth, and glamorized lifestyles."{{citation needed|date=September 2011}} They also share a number of themes in common including commentary on violence and crime, AIDS awareness, and women's safety. The commonalities between [[dancehall]] and Kwaito are in fact rooted in a deeper relationship between South Africa and Jamaican music. African reggae artists like Côte d'Ivoire's [[Alpha Blondy]] and South Africa's own [[Lucky Dube]] were popular throughout the continent during apartheid, and Alpha helped shed a negative light on the oppressive regime when he compared apartheid to Nazism.<ref>* Asiedu, William.

As he describes it, <blockquote> "If we had to look at any other example of black people off the continent who have found their essence, it's Jamaicans. For us, for South Africans after the curtain was lifted, after we could see other things besides what was presented to us on television which was blacksploitation [sic.] movies and stuff like that, buffoons, you know the picture of us. Any other picture of a successful black man was him behaving like a caricature of himself. Jamaicans brought another element to a picture we had of us as an out of body experience. Yeah, so I think you'll find that a lot of people, you know, have been touched by the culture, in South Africa, within 10 years."<ref name="Sonjah" /> </blockquote> ==Dances== {{See also|Jaiva|Pantsula|Tofo Tofo Dance group}} Kwaito is more than just a music genre. A ''CNN'' article described kwaito as a whole subculture with a swirl of irresistible dance beats.<ref name=":2" /> According to [[Sonjah Stanley Niaah|Sonjah Stanley-Niaah]] in her article "Mapping Black Atlantic Performance Geographies: From Slave Ship to Ghetto," dancing has given kwaito increased appeal.<ref name="Sonjah" /> In South Africa, beginning in the 1950s, people went to [[shebeen]]s to listen to music, dance, and socialize on the weekends. The dancing girls at the parties, often hosted in houses as opposed to licensed clubs, served as a motivation for men to attend. As kwaito emerged and became the norm of music in the shebeens, its popularity rapidly increased. Boom Shaka, the first kwaito group, was also the first to create and popularize dance moves to accompany kwaito. The dances were said to offer a window into the everyday life of South Africans by building on traditional dance styles from the region. New dance style had also led to discussion over gender relations.<ref name="Sonjah" /> Pantsula is a male-dominated dance that came about in the 1980s representing the lower class culture. The dance includes synchronized movements by large groups of male dancers.<ref name="Sonjah" /> "Mapantsula" is the title of a 1988 film describing the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa.
