A second eclectic compilation of material by mostly South African artists in exile. For purposes of definition, exile music here covers a thirty year period from 1959 to 1990, during the heart of the apartheid years. This survey is by no means comprehensive, nor is it representative of all South African exile artists, or even necessarily their ‘best’ work. Rather it is a collection of some of my favorite, more personal tunes. Tunes that for me capture some of the darker, and yet also, more ecstatic moments of exile.
All tracks sourced from the Flatinternational South African Audio Archive. Originally posted at Electric Jive, March 2012 (FXEJ 8). For more information about the compilation visit: https://flatint.blogspot.com/2020/11/in-exile.html
