Capadona Café brings back Kwaito sounds

Kwaito music, a variant of house music that features the use of African sounds and samples, which emerged in Soweto during the 1990s, used to dominate the airwaves and playlists at parties more especially in townships.

Despite its popularity in the early 2000s, the music genre’s status has been diminishing with new genres that have tapped on the iconic beats of Kwaito taking over. But it showed recently that the genre still has something to it during the event to launch the new drinking hole and eatery. With the less fancied line-up, the event looked like it would not spark any interest.
