Video: South Africa's New Dance Music, Shangaan Electro
August 03, 2010
Fresh from Soweto, South Africa, comes Shangaan Electro - a new blend of dance music featuring stripped-down African beats, melodies, and instruments electronically tweaked to superfast speeds. The music has even created a culture of it's own, complete with new dance moves, outlandish costumes, and public dance-offs. Check out this video from WSJ.com and head into the studio with A Man Called Dog, the mastermind behind it all - and hop on over to Honest Jon's to order their forthcoming Shangaan Electro compilation.
