Mahlathini and The Queens - Isitmela

Показать описание
First out on the b-side of “Umkhwenyana” (King KGB-014) in 1976.

Mahlathini's on the billing (keeping the brand strong), though he doesn't perform on this one. At least he wrote it!

Undoubtedly channeling Kingston's 60s rhythms, this seems to me a pure conduit between Prince Buster and The Beat. Not that either would have been aware of it, so buried to the world was South Africa's 70s treasure-trove.

My intro to these excellent artists came from 2 compilation albums of Zulu Jive in the 80's. I still play them today with considerable frequency.
