DESCRIPTION:
2x12" LP Rare South African Music of the 1960s and '70s. Repress
Great Britain’s Strut imprint does it again. Long rumored to be in production, its Next Stop...Soweto series finally lifts off in 2010 with the first of its proposed three volumes. This one, compiled expertly by Duncan Brooker and Frances Gooding, focuses exclusively on mbaqanga, a distinctly township-developed sound created in the 1960s. The term “mbaqanga” is Zulu for “steamed mealie bread.” It referred to common people’s music. It was born as a reaction to the apartheid system’s rather successful campaign to rid black culture of kwela in the early '60s, a music that offered a distinctly African meld of its regional styles with the American influences of jazz, soul, and blues. Mbaqanga was born of the ban, and a new law than banned black groups from singing in English. South African recording studios began experimenting with traditional African pop sounds played on electric instruments and rhythms, adding horns to an electric guitar-bass-an
