Radio Bantu Native

Johannesburg, South Africa

Radio Bantu Native marks the trail of one of the most forgotten historical eras in our South African music journey to date. Radio Bantu Native is thus an endeavour which seeks to revisit our musical treasures and the lifestyle thereof in South Africa. Our initiatives contribute to our continual music culture with the intention to share and re-educate our fellow citizens glocally. It is a celebration of Mzantsi’s vast, dynamic and enchanting groovy sounds rooted in indigenous acoustics that define the social fabric of township and urban lifestyle. We take pride in our heritage and present to you:
EARLY NATIVE (HOMELANDS) MUSIC; SCATHAMIYA; KWELA; MARABI; MGQASHIYO; MASKANDI; SAKKIE SAKKIE; EARLY CHORAL MUSIC; SOUTH AFRICAN MUSICALS; FOLK TRADITIONAL MUSIC; SOUTH AFRICAN JAZZ; AND SOUTH AFRICAN MODERN EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC
