A Cry in the Night

With the pulsating beat of the Kwaito sound, and the spine chilling vocals of Hardcore Rock, Kwaicore really is an acquired taste of music. Kwaicore being born in the very heart of Johannesburg is a truly South African sound. A genre of music that needs to be listened to and which has a message that needs to heard. What do you expect from this hair rising jive?

The love story that created this Kwaicore baby, took place in downtown Joburg late one Friday night in between two night clubs. After the clashing of two seemingly negatively charged styles and sounds, something incredible happened. A voice joined a jiving beat. A scream joined a rhythmic base. A cry of desperation among a joyful humming of thumps. This is what was born that crisp Joburg night.
