Television has  become a medium from which musical cultures are  acted and disseminated to the wider audiences. The  introduction of television in South Africa in 1976  introduced new challenges and opportunities for  black musicians to renegotiate their performance  practices against the increasingly intense  commercialisation of music. Television provided a  stage for the holistic view of contemporary  performance cultures. It is argued that television  constructs tradition for practitioners such as  artists, producers, audiences, media, record and  fashion industries. Television thus plays the role  of providing evidence for social constructions of  reality in contemorary African music cultures. This  reading will help shed light on the relationships  between tradition, identity and performance and a  valuable addition to popular music and media  studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838364940\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlack South African Popular Music on SABC Television\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838364940","offer_id":39499053727837,"sku":"9783838364940","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d4649999-8fd9-484a-be2d-dd0177bd8254.jpg?v=1757743238","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/tradition-identity-and-performance-von-caleb-chrispo-okumu","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
