In the 80's, the world - rightly - stepped up its boycott against South Africa's apartheid government. But this had unexpected and sometimes adverse consequences for South Africa's music professionals and consumers. Musicians still needed to work live shows both at home and abroad, and to make and sell records. The youth still aspired to clubbing and partying at the weekend after hard, poorly paid jobs under the thumb of an oppressive government. Music was their sanctuary: specifically, African- American inspired soul, jazz, boogie, disco and funk.
