A Kwaito artist escape

Kwaito can be seen as a means of recreation and also a sense of escapism being a genre that looks to the future instead of to the past. It represents the refusal of politics. Some Kwaito songs also reflect the artist's political view. An example is Zola. He rhymes, chants and sings explicitly about political and ideological issues.

This song "Mdlwembe" was featured in the Academy Award Winning film "Tsotsi".
