To answer this prompt, I would first start with research. Search the internet—using a search engine like Google or Ecosia—for terms like "music and identity in South Africa," "modern South African music," "South African music movements." As you research, you'll probably come up with other search terms to help you answer questions you need answered.
Good sources are reliable and relevant. That means your source should be written by someone who has the credibility to answer this question. Are you reading an interview with a South African musician? Listening to the words of a South African member of the older generation, talking about what has changed? Reading an article by a respected journalist? When talking about South Africa and identity, though I'm not intimately familiar, I suspect the history of apartheid will probably be relevant. So will the different tribes who live in South Africa. Make sure you're getting perspectives from people of multiple races, ethnicities, and tribes, and especially make sure you're not centering the voices of white people who study African cultures—many sources prioritize white researchers, so be on the lookout for that. How do each of the people you're reading about relate South African music, new and old, to their identity?
"Cite at least one detail" means that your teacher wants at least one specific example. This sounds like a good place to include information about one specific song, event, turning point in music history, or person.
This is, unfortunately, the most help I can offer provided the prompt alone. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions!
