Cape Jazz

Cape Jazz is a style of jazz music that originated in South Africa. It developed from a combination of traditional African music and European jazz, with influences from the music of the Cape Malay and Khoi people. The style has a relaxed, laid-back feel, and is often characterized by the use of saxophone, trumpet, and piano. Cape Jazz has gained international popularity since the mid-1990s, with artists such as Hugh Masekela, Abdullah Ibrahim, and Jimmy Dludlu becoming popular. Cape Jazz has also been influenced by other African musical styles, such as Kwaito and Afro-soul.
