Heres the hype:
Township rock ruled eons before Paul parted the fronds and brought it back to Graceland. When Kwela, the local tinwhistle blues 'n' boogie jazz, hit in the mid-Fifties, its popularity encouraged Benoni Rocket, the Pretty Dolls and other acts, awash in Yankee R & R 78's, to test their tonsils on the new sound. Result: a nonsensical shuffling of the lyrics to "Be-Bop-A-Lula' and similar hits that created tracks of staggering surrealism. Get down with this stuff and you'll think you're on a palm-wine bender.......

Thank you for sharing saint, I'm listening and enjoying it right now. (It would be great if anyone could make any of the other African serenades volumes available for download!  ) Saint, do you have any recommendations for south African music named "township swing"? Though I even don't know if that's the exact term for what I'm looking for. One song I could name is Gwigwi Mrwebi - Nyusamkhaya on London is the Place for me pt2. Also, I've seen the movie "Drum" recently which features some new music in a similar style, but which is not original music I suppose. Thanks, zip Thanks, Zip |
