Ethnic Swazi music

The Swazi are an ethnic group split between South Africa and Swaziland. The Swazis in South Africa became a major part of South African music, though they were not identified as "Swazi musicians", but rather as "South African musicians"; these included Zakes Nkosi, who began in the 1940s as a jazz musician
