The story of the birth of eclectic South African dance sounds and lyrics, known as kwaito, is told through a series of fast-paced and revealing interviews with the early exponents and major stars of the genre, and the DJs who put it on the map. The film charts kwaito’s meteoric rise in popularity from the days when musos flogged their tapes at taxi ranks to international tours and superstardom. It teases out the changing tastes of a public hungry for non-political role models and a new home-grown celebrity culture. Informative, entertaining, electrifying—this is kwaito uncut from the horse’s mouth.
