Post Description

This is AFRICA! Her Pulse! Her People! Her Music!
Where heart surgeon and Witchdoctor still vie for popularity.Where Boer settler and Zulu Warrior once engaged in bloody battle.Where Tradition and Custom are being replaced by transistor radios.For a few Centuries Africa's poets and composers have written andsung countless songs about her, trying to capture in rhyme themagic of this vast Continent. In this set we present ten suchsongs, ranging from Traditional Folklore, to the more modernTownship Jive. Performed here by "Ipi 'N Tombia", one of the mostexciting groups ever to emerge out of Africa, this could possiblybe the start of an exciting new era in music. Whatever the outcome,we are sure that lead singer Margaret Singana must certainly gainInternational recognition based on her incredible performances onthis Album.
