The Rough Guide To South African Gospel Music
Today, gospel music remains one of the populist mainstays
of everyday life in South Africa's urban townships and rural
communities, and it also constitutes one of the largest genre
segments of the local record industry. Its widespread popularity
within South Africa has spilled over to the international
stage, with groups and artists such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo
and Rebecca Malope. The Rough Guide To South African Gospel
brings together twenty-two brilliant performances recorded
over the last forty years, to cover the entire range of local
styles, from apostolic choirs to pop-influenced gospel divas,
and features the most famous artists in the field.
