Best of '00s South African Pop, Vol. 1

This playlist gathers a plethora of varied and perfect pop from SA's essential and most inventive modern acts. There's WONDERboom's raw, hard-hitting rock, Flash Republic's dance-driven party hits that burst with electro riffs, and Freshlyground's energising brew of African sounds—one that's flecked with rootsy folk, skiffle-like kwela and more freeform jazz for a real pick-me-up.
