Rhythm of Resistance: Black South African Music

Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Malombo, Johnny Clegg, the Mahotella Queens, and many more are featured in this compendium of black South African music. In the post-apartheid age of South Africa, indigenous music that had been oppressed by the white rulers is finally allowed to be heard. This release is an emotional look back at the days in which this music was hidden--much of the footage was secretly, even illegally, filmed--as well as a celebration of music that is deeply political and transgressive.
