Bid to revive Township Music

Township Music in an effort to revive the genre.
The event is set to attract some of the surviving artistes who popularised the genre as well as contemporary musicians whose careers were influenced by Township Music.
Township Music is essentially the Zimbabwean interpretation of jazz.
It has its origins in the high-density suburbs of Harare (now Mbare) and Mzilikazi in Bulawayo in the 1930s.
Despite it having originated from townships this music has dominated in some schools mostly in the Matebeleland province and some of today’s dance groups are gaining popularity through this genre.
Zimbabwean Township Music is a documentary produced in 1992 by Joyce Jenje-Makwenda, a researcher, archivist and jazz music lover who was born in Mbare.
This documentary tries to understand the social entertainment of earlier generations in urban Zimba-bwe which moulded a musical niche in indigenous traditional lyrics.
However, according to wikipedia Township Music is a genre of South African music that originated in the 1900s and is characterised by its musicians, who were often urban township residents during the apartheid period in South Africa.
Township Music’s creation is highly attributed to the presence of segregation during this time, where it was created in response to the environment of the musicians.
It mainly entails three different music styles called mbaqanga, kwela and marabi and each of which has its own unique, respective characteristics, but maintains the same origins.
