  • Music of Politics and Religion Supporting Constitutional Values in South Africa
    Article Music of Politics and Religion Supporting Constitutional Values in South Africa Morakeng E.K. Lebaka University of South Africa [email protected] Abstract The Constitution of South Africa has been taken as a model globally as it supports non-discrimination and human rights. The purpose of this study was to analyse the South African National Anthem and a secular political song to investigate how music supported the values enshrined in the Constitution, including religious freedom, during the transition from a history of apartheid towards 25 years of democracy. Politicians such as Nelson Mandela and religious leaders such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, black African spiritual practitioners, Muslim ecclesiastics, rabbis and others played a prominent role in a peaceful transition to democracy. Although there have been a few violent episodes like service delivery protests, farm murders, xenophobia and the tragedy of Marikana since 1994, in general South Africa has been peaceful, despite its history. This study concluded that the music of politics and liberation can be related to value systems and lack of conflict between ethnic and religious factions in South Africa since 1994. Keywords: South African Constitution; South African Anthem; struggle songs; reconciliation Introduction and Literature Review In 1994 South Africa transformed itself into a peaceful democracy without a civil war. Our neighbours—Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Angola—all went to war to achieve peace. South African Special Forces played a pivotal role in the South African Border War and were active alongside the Rhodesian Security forces during the Rhodesian Bush War (Scholtz 2013). Combat operations were also undertaken against FRELIMO militants in Mozambique (Harry 1996, 13-281).

  • Ghana and the World Music Boom
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto Ghana and the World Music Boom John Collins School of Performing Arts, University of Ghana From the 1950s to the early 1970s Ghana led the way in West Africa with its popular highlife and Afro-rock music and its viable recording and music production industry. However, things began to decline from the late 1970s due to a corrupt military government, followed by two coups, several years of night curfew and the imposition of massive import duties on musical instruments. Into the music vacuum came Ghanaian gospel-music (as the churches were not taxed) and hi- tech drum-box and synthesizer forms of local music (burgher highlife and hiplife) that did away with large expensive bands. By the mid-1980s the live commercial music and entertainment scene was almost at a stand-still, exactly at a time when there was a growing international interest in African music. However, the Ghanaian non-commercial gospel-music or computerized forms of music that appeared in the 1980s and 1990s were too hi-tech for the psychology of the World Music fans, who demanded “authentic” African sounds. Although Ghana was initially unable to benefit much from the early World Music boom, there have, however, been a number of important positive spin-offs from this international phenomenon. Some of these directly benefit Ghanaian musicians. Today hundreds of foreign musicians, students and World Music fans are coming to study African performance at Ghana’s universities or in the private drum and dance schools as well as beach resort and folkloric groups that have sprung up since the late 1980s.

  • A STUDY of the LINKAGES BETWEEN POPULAR MUSIC and POLITICS in SOUTH AFRICA UNDER APARTHEID in the 1980S
    A STUDY OF THE LINKAGES BETWEEN POPULAR MUSIC AND POLITICS IN SOUTH AFRICA UNDER APARTHEID IN THE 1980s by DAVID JUSTIN DURBACH Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject AFRICAN POLITICS at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA Supervisor: Dr. S. Botha March 2015 Name: David Durbach Student number: 46674977 Degree: MA in African Politics I declare that A Study of the Linkages between Popular Music and Politics in South Africa under Apartheid in the 1980s is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. All interviewees have consented. Signed: Date: ii SUMMARY This dissertation seeks to explore how the exercise of political power and the music industry impacted each other in South Africa under apartheid during the 1980s. It does so by looking firstly at the ways in which the South African government used music to promote apartheid. Secondly, it looks at the role of South African popular musicians in the struggle against apartheid in the country, specifically their role in civil society and the methods they employed to fight apartheid while avoiding censorship. It looks at key musical developments of the decade and explores their political implications, focusing on three popular genres: bubblegum (or disco), crossover and reggae. Thirdly, it explores the role of South African music and musicians in the struggle against apartheid outside South Africa. Finally, it looks at the role of music in the international anti-apartheid movement and the contribution of the international music community to the struggle.
