South African Alternative music is a genre of music that originated in South Africa in the late 1990s. It is a fusion of traditional African music, jazz, rock, and hip-hop. It is characterized by its use of African rhythms, instruments, and vocal styles, as well as its incorporation of elements from other genres. It is often seen as a form of protest music, as it often deals with issues of social injustice and inequality. It is also known for its upbeat, energetic sound and its use of traditional African instruments such as the mbira, marimba, and kora.
