The Influence Of The Americans

Looking at world music today you would see that the influence of the Americans in our people who live by being in the spotlight is very obvious to see, I wont dwell too much on that I will show you some videos of Beyonce and that of Chomee who is a South Africa female artists who her dances and performances make men risk losing their wives by coming home late at night coming back from her performance. One would reckon that their existed has became something like much needed vitamin by alpha males.

This form of entertainment once made the former liberation leader and South Africas first black democratically elected President Nelson Mandela to complain about the Boom Shakas  way of dressing and their much admired(by men) way of dancing which was very provocative in many ways depending on ones beliefs.


Today we can see that as being just another effect of globalisation or maybe if you look at with an understanding of how Africans used to dress before the missionaries came you wouldn’t be very surprised by the dances to some extent but the almost naked bodies is part of our heritage which has to be expressed and treasured.

  3. there isnt enough competition between our artists and those of the West.....we've jst accepted that sex sells and than again we'd rather see chomee dance than hear her sing.....
    lets jst for a second stop blaming the missionaries for our conformity to their way of doing things instead look at how we have jst sat back and copied everything. truth is our artists will always try to measure to the standards of Beeyonce and the like because that is what sells brand AMERICA n SEX. from SINAZO
