StevenP I have to disagree, over the last three to four years I think South African Artist had more interest from the public than ever before. Every time I go home for a holiday their is a new band or artist and it plays everywhere you go, and everybody has the CD. Their is so many upcoming artis that it is hard to keep track. If their wasn't enough support etc...their wouldnt be so many new bands and the older ones wouldn't be so sucessfull. On the other hand for it to get internationally recognised will be hard as some of the best is in Afrikaans and well.....would you buy a Polish CD if you didn't understand anything? African music is more about the rythm and although you don't understand the words etc...you get a certain feeling/vibe of Africa and the wild. I do not blame international people for listening to that rather than Afrikaans music.

My main point however though is that I think South Africans are supporting the music industry more than ever!!
