Rough Guide

Founded in 1994, the Music Rough Guide sublabel is produced by World Music Network in association with a renowned book publisher.

As a sublabel of World Music Network, the Rough Guide series offers an extensive collection of music that spans various genres and cultures.
The Music Rough Guide label has established itself as an authoritative source for discovering new and unique sounds from around the world. With its rich catalog of releases, it provides music enthusiasts with a curated selection of albums that showcase the diversity and beauty of global music.
Whether you are interested in exploring traditional folk tunes, vibrant jazz rhythms, or infectious pop melodies from different corners of the globe, the Music Rough Guide label has something to offer for every musical taste. Immerse yourself in the captivating sounds and cultural richness brought to you by this esteemed label.

Encompassing the marabi, kwela and jive styles of mid-twentieth century urban South African music, this compilation covers the sounds, styles, assemblages and musicians that reside under the umbrella of South African jazz - from the golden age of 1960s and 1970s to the new wave of musicians in the twenty years of post-apartheid democracy. South African jazz may now sit on the fringes of popular culture in South Africa, but you only have to look at the success of the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Joy Of Jazz Festival in Johannesburg and the National Youth Jazz Festival to recognise the legacy of the pioneering musicians and the continuation of their collaborative spirit in the wealth of burgeoning jazz talent in South Africa.
