Youth dance to Kwaito music during a music festival on December in the Meadowlands section of Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2004. Kwaito was born in the townships, a music style similar to American Hip-Hop. Soweto is South Africa's largest township and it was founded about one hundred years to make housing available for black people south west of downtown Johannesburg. The estimated population is between 2-3 million.
