This article illuminates the musical activism of Juluka, an interracial South African band active in the late 1970s through the mid-1980s. Its analyses of three songs focus on intersections between Western popular music and a Zulu song genre called maskanda. By examining these cross-cultural interactions in the domains of harmonic progressions, formal structures and metric and rhythmic organisation, I demonstrate that the artistic fruitfulness of the band's collaboration was a powerful rebuke to the government's apartheid ideology, which sought to segregate not just people, but even their artistic expressions.

“其他事情是可能的”:跨文化合作作为 Juluka 音乐中的反种族隔离行动

本文阐述了 Juluka 的音乐激进主义,这是一支活跃于 1970 年代后期至 1980 年代中期的南非跨种族乐​​队。它对三首歌曲的分析集中在西方流行音乐和一种叫做maskanda的祖鲁歌曲流派之间的交叉点。通过检查这些跨文化在和声进行、正式结构以及韵律和节奏组织领域的互动,我证明了乐队合作的艺术成果是对政府种族隔离意识形态的有力谴责,这种意识形态不仅试图隔离人,但即使是他们的艺术表达。
