South Africa has a rich musical history with a variety of sounds, genres, musical cultures and subcultures.
From this variety came kwaito in the late 1980s.
This genre is a variant of house music and deep baselines with catchy lyrics.
With the rise of local hip-hop music and afro-jazz during the late 2000s, many suggested kwaito was dead as no prominent kwaito artists were releasing quality music.

Teanation is a rap duo made up of friends Bafana Zikalala and Junior Chambale.
