1958 Time 16 June 37/1 The haunting sound of penny-whistle jazz has become the favorite music of South Africa's slum-caged blacks—and of a great many white hipsters. In the dusty streets, urchins rock to the penny-whistle's fast kwela beat; in shabby speakeasies, women shuffle to its slower marabi rhythm.

1958 Gramophone Dec. 328/2 Those addicted to the shrill squawking of the Kwela flute will have to hear..Something New From Africa.

1960 Guardian 1 Apr. 10/7 When night falls, she can dance the kwela, mambo, or high-life with any or all of them [sc. Nigerians].

1961 Sunday Times 12 Mar. 15/7 One of the tin whistle bands that make kwela music at street corners in Johannesburg.

1969 J. Brunner Plague on Both your Causes xiii. 96 The music—all local stuff halfway between kwela and the long Arab-influenced melodic lines of the Sudan—rose to a pitch of frenzy.

1974 Sunday Times (Johannesburg) 13 Oct. 15 I would..listen to kwela music and dance with gouty feet.
