The new age kwaito music is a mix of house music with African sounds, deep bass and vocals that are rapped and shouted. This music was used in the movie Tsotsi picked by director Gavin Hood because the music originated in Johannesburg, South Africa where the film took place. The music can seem awkward and inappropriate at times, very upbeat and lifting music while Tsotsi and his friends are about to commit a crime. There are times where the music is softer, like when Tsotsi has the Mom in the village take care of baby David. It seems like the music tries to play light onto the crimes that are committed and Tsotsi's emotions. When do you think Tsotsi starts to feel guilty for his actions? When he knows he is going to be caught for his actions or earlier?
