His album, Cold Fact, flopped in the U.S. but became a protest anthem against apartheid, inspiring a generation. While Rodriguez lived in obscurity, believing his music had faded into history, he was secretly outselling Elvis in South Africa.

During the 1970s and 1980's there was a flourishing of musical blending and innovation in the nation of South Africa that infected the whole world. All of this occurred in spite of the violent oppression of the then Apartheid government.

Afrobeats and Amapiano are two of the most popular genres in Africa and both genres are now also being recognised and appreciated worldwide. This year's prestigious Grammy awards gave us 'Best African Music Performance' for the first time. Out of the seven nominees- four were from Nigeria- Davido, Burna Boy, Asake and Olamide and there were two artists from South Africa, Musa Keys and the winner Tyla. The only other country represented was Arya Starr from Benin but even she lives in Nigeria. A lot of people raised the question of why this award didn't recognise artists from other parts of Africa if it's an award created to celebrate music across the whole continent. So why does Nigerian and South African music seem to be dominating music from other parts of Africa? Guests: MC Yallah, ePianoh and Keiitumetse Maako

Luke Beling and Paul Cardall delve into an incredible journey as indie artists, tracing back to Luke's upbringing in South Africa during the tumultuous era of apartheid—a system entrenched in racial segregation.  LISTEN TO LUKE BELINGhttps://lukebeling.com/APPLE MUSICSPOTIFYAMAZONINSTAGRAMFACEBOOKYOUTUBE MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODELuke Beling and Paul Cardall delve into an incredible journey as indie artists, tracing back to Luke's upbringing in South Africa during the tumultuous era of apartheid—a system entrenched in racial segregation. The conversation unfolds as they explore Luke's unique background as a privileged youth who navigated complex dynamics of prejudice and friendship with individuals of diverse backgrounds, all set against the backdrop of Nelson Mandela's struggle for equality. Luke's childhood weekends were graced with a musical education from his father, immersing him in the soul-stirring melodies of legendary artists like the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Cat Stevens. It was within these harmonies and the subtle, submissive lyrics of Paul Simon's "Graceland" that Luke began to perceive the world through a different lens. The resonance of these artists' words ignited a fire within him to seek compassion and understanding, propelling him toward a path of societal change through his own artistic expression. Amidst being a promising tennis player, Luke's journey unfolded further as he secured a scholarship to Campbellsville in Kentucky. Here, he found himself in the midst of a musical community that would catalyze his transformation into a songwriter. Paul and Luke engage in an exploration of Luke's creative process, unveiling the intricate art of crafting stories through music, likening it to a vigorous workout at the gym—shaping narratives that resonate with the soul. Luke's profound connection to his roots in Africa emerges in his poignant musical compositions, touching on the realities of a nation ravaged by AIDS, juxtaposed against the breathtaking beauty of the landscape. They contemplate the tragic paradox of such stunning places marred by a history of suffering. Intriguingly, the conversation shifts to Luke's creative focus on Lesotho—a landlocked haven in Southern Africa, boasting towering mountains and serene valleys, steeped in a rich history of political autonomy. The narrative takes a twist as they delve into Luke's transition to Hawaii, where he now resides with his family. The discussion culminates in a reflection on his song "Pacific," encapsulating the irresistible pull he experienced, drawing him across the vast expanse of the Pacific to find solace and purpose on an island—a journey that mirrors the rhythm of his life and art. ABOUT THE HOST & PIANISThttp://www.paulcardall.comhttps://www.facebook.com/PaulCardallMusic/https://www.instagram.com/paulcardall/ LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC:SPOTIFYAPPLE MUSICAMAZON

Tumi Morake speaks to global stars and listeners about the gifts of art that have inspired them. Lira is one of South Africa's bestselling pop stars. She has won multiple South African Music awards and was the first African woman to have a Barbie made in her likeness. She spoke to Tumi about how her love of painting was inspired by the gift of a piece of work from a talented South African artist. The dancer Carlos Acosta has travelled the world with his art, from his early love of breakdancing in the streets of Havana to becoming the first black principal dancer of the Royal Ballet. He spoke to the Cultural Frontline about the classic book that caught his imagination and helped him tell his own story. South Korean violin virtuoso Min Kym talks about the deep grief she experienced when her rare Stradivarius violin was stolen, and how seeing a painting by Vincent Van Gogh called 'Long Grasses with Butterflies' was the start of her recovery from depression. Plus we hear from our listeners in Kenya, Brazil and beyond about the art that has changed them during the pandemic. Photo: Min Kym, Lira and Carlos Acosta.
