ARTHUR MAFOKATE
Singer, producer, performer, songwriter and television personality, Arthur Mafokate, Mr. Kwaito, or Mr Vuvuzela as he is known, is amongst the first of a group of South African musicians to term their new sound Kwaito. His ground-breaking and award winning releases, Kaffir and Oyi,Oyi, changed the face of the South African music industry with their catchy Kwaito beat and subversive lyrics. The lyrics of the 1995 EP Kaffir: “Nee baas…don’t call me Kaffir”, proved to be too much for several radio stations to play yet the EP was a huge seller and largely influenced the face of Kwaito today.
