Mbaqanga — the electric township jive of 1960s–70s South Africa (Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, the Makgona Tsohle Band). The name means a cheap everyday maize bread: daily music for dancing.
How it sits: the electric bass is the lead instrument, bouncing root–fifth–octave–fifth with sixteenth pickups and walking up to the third into each chord change. The guitar chops: muted strokes on the beat, bright down-strokes on the off-beats, a quick up-stroke before the next chord. The kit stays steady — hi-hat eighths, kick on 1 and 3, snare on 2 and 4 — over the I–IV–I–V cycle.
Listen for the bass melody on top of a deliberately plain kit; the bounce comes from the bass's octave leaps, not the drums.
Practice: sing the bass line while clapping 2 and 4, then mute the bass and hear how much the groove loses.
