kwela is using Ma.gnolia from UK.
The kwela.co.uk project aims to explore and explain the once-famous South African pennywhistle musical genre: Kwela. The idea is to take the best tools the internet has to offer now and use them appropriately to publish whatever information comes to light during the lifetime of the project. kwela.co.uk is the hub for this activity; ma.gnolia.com is the project's collated bookmarks. Have fun!
