In 1890 Cape Town started attracting foreigners, including African Americans, to play different kinds of music such as ragtime.

"The South African music scene includes both popular (jive) and folk forms. Pop styles are based on four major sources, Zulu isicathamiya singing and harmonic mbaqanga.

Christian missions provided the first organized musical training in the country, bringing to light many of the modern country's earliest musicians, including Enoch Sontonga, who wrote thenational anthem Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika. By the end of the nineteenth century, South African cities like Cape Town were large enough to attract foreign musicians, especially American ragtimeplayers. African American spirituals were popularized in the 1890s by Orpheus McAdoo's Jubilee Singers."
