From the liner notes concerning Style: Mbaqanga - The Indestructible Beat of the Townships - After the 2nd World War in the townships that serviced the gold mines and industrial heartland of the Witwatersrand, the traditional music of the Zulu and Sotho collided with the Afro American rhythm and blues, jazz and blues of the period to form new urban styles such as township jazz, the pennywhistle street music, Kwela, and the shebeen inspired marabi. Mbaqanga drew upon all these forms for inspiration to become a powerful new urban pop style.
