You see the difference between a South African and American can be broken down to one thing. Music.
Let me explain. And of course I'm generalizing hardcore.
An American (in my experience) enjoys the sound of music. The music is detached from the actual person. There is no movement. Seldom you'll hear some singing along. It's a controlled experience.
For a South African. The music and the individual are one. Listening is a physical splendor. The social mask disappears as sound and person become one. The moment is no longer still, it is alive.
And now I'm thinking...instead of a national difference, could this also be a racial/cultural difference?
Either way, there is something to be gained from both.
