Africa Kids - South African traditional songbook

South Africa’s rich folk music heritage is often overlooked. Africa Kids unveils the wealth of our country’s music and rich cultural heritage, especially with children in mind. This volume focuses on bringing South Africa’s unique cultural songs to one and all. One of the goals of this book is to showcase South Africa's unique cultural songs through its exploration of traditional songs, written in times of both struggle and joy.

It includes historically significant songs from the gold mines of Johannesburg to those of the small villages in the Cape. These songs do not only represent our diverse South African history but also offer educational value and promise joyous musical experiences.
