p Records recording group Civil Twilight have been playing music together s=
ince they were teenagers growing up in South Africa, emulating the rock mus=
ic they heard coming out of Europe and America, from Oasis, U2 and Nirvana =
to The Verve, The Police, Muse and Radiohead.=0A=0AWhich is why you don=E2=
=80=99t necessarily hear a whole lot of the music of Africa on the band=E2=
=80=99s self-titled debut, but you can hear the continent itself in Steve M=

 more of a culture shock for us than we thought it would be,=E2=80=9D nods =
Wouters. =E2=80=9CBut it was amazing to be in this place where all the musi=
