Who said real Africans don't play Dixieland? Like us, they are old ;-) VBG.

Below snip from Newsday, a Newspaper on Long Island, New York. From a travel
article sent by a reported on vacation in Cape Town:

 
"Along the waterfront, septets of young black men intersperse their a
capella African songs with tribal dance and primal udulations; old South
African men play Dixieland jazz tinged with township rhythms."
