| From Kwaito to Kwaicore |
Perhaps it's because THAT many people believe in Kwaicore as the new kid on the block and everyone wants a share in the returns when it becomes a success?
Perhaps it's an existing music genre that no one's consciously noticed until Creative Director Alex Sudheim coined the term?
Perhaps you're being sold a dream that I'm trying to make a reality to corroborate this fictitious Kwaicore story? *raises eyebrow*
For those not sure...
Kwaito is the fusion of house music with African sounds and a series of percussive loop samples, deep basslines and repetitive vocals.

Whereas Hardcore comprises the screams, chants, fast beats and drop tempos of a drum, accompanied by a series of octave leads, grooves and the distorted and amplified sound of guitar soloists in their element.

Personality i am not a fan of either genre's as a whole, but do like certain songs from each genre. The merge of the two would certainly be interesting to hear i must say. There is a show on SABC2 that does a similar concept of trying to fuse two different sounds and basically create a "new sound". Some combinations have turned out amazingly and others not so great, but interesting. I’m looking forward to hearing a sample the new Kwaicore sound.

Well thank you! I have neither heard no seen anything regarding that particular program, but I think it just confirms the problem people have identified with music development (or the lack thereof). Considering your disinterest in either genre I'm really glad you took an interest in reading the post and being open to change. Thank you.
