Reimagining Country: The Country Kingdom of Eswatini

This episode digs into the history of country music in Eswatini (Swaziland). As a new documentary on Dusty & Stones hits streaming services, we trace the genre’s roots—from early stars like Buddy Masango and Isaac Gamedze to a new generation of artists. Featuring interviews with Dusty & Stones and rare archival music via director Jesse Rudoy, we follow the duo’s path from local Country Jamborees to the Grand Ole Opry, blending country sounds with local genres along the way.
