Artistic ‘Freedom’ in the 80s and Now
Jane Duncan, The Con
The 1980s was a heady time in South Africa’s cultural
history. Apartheid repression was at its height, but so was mass resistance.
The independent label Shifty Records brought together a courageous, outspoken and
rebellious group of artists who captured in their music the despair and hope of
that turbulent period. It is this legacy that is being celebrated in Shifty
September, and rightly so, as the label gave South Africa some of the most
important contemporary local music ever made.
