    The Soul Brothers scored quite some golden records
    in their first few years in South Africa. The people
    loved them. Then, in january 1979 a tragic car accident
    took the lives of two members. ( album liner notes, Wiki
    speaks of three deaths ) Nobody thought the group would
    survive, but with the two substitutes this was their first
    album which proved everybody wrong. As long as they
    stick to their Mbaqanga and don’t play Western music,
    this is a solid Zulu Jive band ..

    The Soul Brothers scoorden een rijtje gouden platen
    tijdens hun eerste jaren in Zuid Afrika. Hel volk was dol
    op ze. Toen gebeurde er in 1979 een tragisch auto ongeluk
    waarin twee van de leden omkwamen. ( volgens de hoes van
    deze plaat, Wiki spreekt van drie doden ) Iedereen dacht dat
    hun jaren geteld waren, maar met twee nieuwe leden was
    dit hun ‘come back’ lp die het tegendeel bewees. Zolang
    Soul Brothers Mbaqanga blijven spelen en geen uitstapjes
    maken naar Westerse muziek, naar mijn
    mening een solide Zulu Jive band ..

    I was asked for Best of the Dark City Sisters and thought, but
    that album was posted years ago. Once again an album that
    used to be here has disappeared. Nowadays we have our own
    dedicated server so once the record is here, it is here to stay.
    Best of the Dark City Sisters from South Africa with Joyce Mo-
    gatusi, Francisca Mgomezulu, Hilda Mogapi and Esther Khoza.
    See sleeve pic for more info ..
    Btw, if you also miss a certain album that used to be here,
    please let me know and I’ll bring it again.

    Ik kreeg een verzoek voor het plaatsen van Best of the Dark City
    Sisters en dacht, maar die heb ik jaren geleden toch al gepost.
    Alweer een plaat die op mysterieuze wijze is verdwenen. Tegen-
    woordig hebben we onze eigen server en als een plaat hier is, is
    hij hier voor altijd. Best of the Dark City Sisters uit Zuid Afrika
    met Joyce Mogatusi, Francisca Mgomezulu, Hilda Mogapi en
    Esther Khoza. Voor meer info, klik op bovenstaande pic ..
    Overigens, als jij ook een plaat mist die we hier eerder
    hadden, laat het weten en ik re-post hem direct.

    Very popular South African mbaqanga group the Soul
    Brothers with their first overseas release on Earth Works
    from 1988. The recordings are from between 1983 and
    1986. It appears the songs have been longer, unfortunately
    they are all cut off at 3 to 4 minutes. Still, a solid listen ..

    P.S. We had an album before which strangely
    disappeared. I have therefore added a second link.

    Zeer populaire Zuid Afrikaanse band the Soul Brothers
    met hun eerste Europese plaat op Earth Works en uit
    1988. The opnamen zijn van tussen 1983 en 1986. Het
    lijkt erop dat de songs origineel langer zijn geweest,
    helaas allemaal afgekapt op 3 tot 4 minuten.
    Ondanks dat, nog steeds lekker hoor ..

    We hadden ooit al een plaat van ze welke op vreemde
    wijze is verdwenen. Je vind daarom een tweede link.

    Zulu Jive, voorkant

    Hallo, als er iets opvalt in Zuid Afrikaanse muziek is het wel
    de eeuwige opgewektheid. Ook al passeren er thema’s die
    minder vrolijk stemmen, de muziek klinkt altijd alsof er een
    feestje gaande is. Uit 1984 stamt deze schijf met onvervalste
    ‘Umbaqanga’ ofwel zulu jive zoals de titel al doet vermoeden.
    Laat er maar een dansje op los hoor..

    Hello, eventhough themes are sometimes a bit less on the
    happy side, South African music always sounds as if there’s a
    party going on. From 1984 w’ve got this slice of ‘umbaqanga’
    or zulu jive as the title already suggests. Music made to dance
    to, so let go, the makers sure meant you to..

    titels ;

    01 – Aaron Mbambo – Selishonile ilanga
    02 – Joshua Sithole – Sedelini thina
    03 – The Rainbows – Futhi
    04 – Shoba – A smbe diye e goli

    Moses Mchunu, front

    “During the mid-70s and early 80s, Mchunu was one of the
    leading vocalists in the raucous Zulu ‘jive’ style, which
    gave way to mbaqanga. Mchunu’s band typified its appeal,
    featuring driving rhythms and instruments such as guitar,
    violin and concertinas, together with powerful blues-based
    vocals. He has released a number of albums that have sold
    strongly throughout South Africa, but none have managed to
    sustain an international reputation.”
    Taken from All Music at the world wide web.
    Until now I haven’t been posting a lot of mbaqanga simply
    because I don’t own and know that much. I knew Moses
    Mchunu from that great collector that was released in
    1985, the Indestructible Beat of Soweto, so when I
    stumbled upon this lp, I knew what to do.
    The jive is so stirring, it’s impossible
    to ignore, dance music of the
    first kind, enjoy..

    If you are into Zulu Jive, the South African music of the people,
    you better don’t miss this one. This is one of their best albums.
    The Mahotella Queens are here with their backing group, Makhona
    Zonke Band. They are also accompanied by their ‘male groaners’
    Robert Mbazo Mkhize, Potatoes Mazambane or Joseph Mthimkhulu.
    The Queens are Emily Zwane from Brakpan,
    Thandi Radebe from Dube ( Soweto ),
    Beatrice Ngcobo from Durban,
    Thandi Nkosi from Emdeni ( Soweto )
    and Caroline Kapentar from Bloemfontein.
    They are considered the best Mgqashiyo entertainers in Southern Africa.
    Maybe someone can explain to us why on the cover they speak of five
    queens while pictures show only four of them ? Strange.
    An early post this saturday, so much football I don’t want to miss,
    we, The Netherlands, shall play Japan this afternoon and later we get
    Ghana – Australia and Cameroon – Denmark. Great day of sports
    in South Africa, let this music make you dance through it.
    By the way, just the cover we need today, lots of orange, catch my drift ?

    Indestructible Beat vol. 2, frornt, cd size

    Remember ‘The Indestructible Beat of Soweto vol. 1’ ? This is
    the second volume and it’s called ‘Thunder before Dawn’. Another dose
    of Zulu Jive, played by several groups and just the thing for today. Burn it
    on cd and play it everywhere tomorrow, the day the worldcup of football
    starts the big tournament in South Africa. Just within a stone’s throw from
    Soweto the South African national team plays Mexico to open the games.
    I hope it will become a huge international football fiesta, just happy news
    and beautiful matches, let’s all go for that ! Happy Games !
