Research Proposal

The topic for my research project is the influence of western pop music on Kwaito. I grew up in South Africa and I have been able to witness the shift of Kwaito music. Its foundation and original sound has went from a heavy African influence to a hip-hop electronic western influence. My only drawback on this proposal is its lack of support from academic sources. I plan on focusing on certain popular South African Kwaito groups from the early 90's and cross analyzing them with the popular modern day groups. Please let me know if you think this is a good idea or a bit of a reach as far as sources go. I would really appreciate it.
