final bit of info: Hey,tunes can be ordered online although no listening facilities. url is www.houseafrika.com. Get your guys to mail Graeme ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if they have any questions - he'd probably be quite interested to hear from them anyway - just to see whats up in the states and what kind on interest there is around kwaito. Theres also a few other sites which might have info for the www.rage.co.za, the YFM site , dunno the url. Will let you know if I find more.
