Mahlathini & The Mahotella Queens
Description:
This is a delight! The melodious voice of Maharatini! The powerful yet beautiful chorus work of the Mahotella Queens! And the tight and rhythmic ensemble of the MACCONA Tufolet Band! UMESAKAZO is releasing a live disc that is packed full of the live performance and excitement of the time, and cannot be listened to without tears! As a person who is always listening to studio recordings of Mahoterra and the Makhna Tufolet Band and imagining how much I wish I could have seen them live, the moment the first song "Awuthule Kancane" was played on the guitar after the announcement that the show was about to start, I was on the verge of tears. This is the first time the band has performed at the EARTH WORLD in the UK. This live showcase is a compilation of live performances selected from the live showcases held in the UK in 1988 and 1989 to commemorate the release of "The Indestructible Beat of Soweto," a famous compilation of South African music released by Earth Works in the UK in 1985. The Indestructible Beat of Soweto", a compilation of selected live showcases from each show.Maharatini, the "Lion of Soweto," a pioneer of mbakanga, the Mahotela Queens, a chorus group still active and shining, and the Makhona Tufore Band, the house band of South Africa's GALLO, featuring the renowned producer and composer, Alto Saxophone. The Makkona Tufolet Band will also play a supporting role. The band's music is also supported by the Makkona Tufolet Band, a house band from Mubakanga, with its famous alto saxophonist and producer/composer, who is also well known for his work. The most melodious and funky saxophone and the boing-buing bass on "Sengikhala Ngiyabaleka" are all on this album, and they are almost the same as the studio recordings.... The live performance is almost 8 times cooler than the studio version... or rather, 8 times cooler than the live performance with the same vibrancy! You can also feel the excitement of the audiences around the UK. This is the best part of a live recording.It will make you cry. Needless to say, if you are an original fan, but if you have never heard of this album, if you are curious about it, you should pick it up and listen to it.
