Kiba is a genre of 'traditional' music in South Africa. This book is about its performance and social meaning. Woman migrants from the country's Northern Province have developed the genre, formerly an exclusively male one, in vibrant and stimulating ways. Through an exploration of the richness and variety of the songs, the social background to their performance and the life-histories of female performers, Deborah James opens up novel pathways of interpretation of the significance of such music.
