To be honest I don't listen to too many South African musicians. I've been very into psychedelic rock lately and it's not a common genre here. That said, there are a few songs by local musicians I really like!

One song that I didn't even know was from ZA was Push Me to the Floor by The Parlotones. It's a catchy ballad-y song that's just got good vibes. It kinda reminds me of Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, which is another lovely vive.

Another local band that's more edm-ish is Goldfish. The first song I heard of theirs was I think their 2013 song One Million Views on the radio. Total bop.

Speaking of songs I heard on the radio, Lazy Bones by Desmond and the Tutus is a very fun kind of rock pop song.

And I can't talk about ZA bands without mentioning Freshly Ground. An oldie but still good is their song Doo Be Doo. Fun fact: They also performed with Shakira during the FIFA 2010 song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)

I know this list is mostly white and also old, but it's the kind of music I listened to growing up as a white South African. There's some classic indigenous songs too that I really like, but I can't remember their names off the top of my head >~<

Thanks for asking! I love sharing the local culture here!

I reference BotW Rito wings all the time when I draw my bird, so definitely the first option. There's just something about big wing hands that just hits the "good" button in my brain uvu

As I answered before, there I don't really get into littlespace. However, the thing that makes me feel a kinda middlespace-y is actually listening to dumb Skrillex and other dubstep related songs from the late 00s and early 10s. I listened to that kind of music a lot in high school and it kinda triggers a feeling inside me of that era since I don't tend to listen to that genre anymore.

But also baby lullabies played over a speaker and are pretty good at hitting that "I feel funny" feeling if played in the right context >//v//<
