BOP Studios
BOP Studios (originally Bophuthatswana Recording Studios and also referred to as BOP or BRS) is a recording studio located in the outskirts of Mafikeng, South Africa. It was established in 1991 by the Sefalana Employee Benefits Organization (SEBO), a government pension fund in the Republic of Bophuthatswana. Artists who have recorded there include Laura Branigan for her album ''Over My Heart'', Brenda Fassie, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Miriam Makeba, Stimela, and the Soweto String Quartet. The ''Lion King'' soundtrack was also recorded and produced at the studio.
==History==
When BOP Studios first opened, there was a lack of Western artists visiting because the South African apartheid referendum was underway.
Because BOP Studios was located in a Bantustan amidst a politically charged climate and funded by private investments, most musicians in Africa would not use it out of political conviction and most could not afford the recording costs necessary to ensure investor profit.〔Bridger, Jon (14 November 1992). ("BOP Works to Overcome Challenges" ), p. 56. ''Billboard''〕 The studios were then taken over by the South African Broadcasting Corporation, which ended in 2003. The studios were reopened in 2006 after being purchased by a consortium based in the North West Province.
