So say the biggest mbaqanga group in South African history, the Soul Brothers. Unconnected with the Jamaican group of the same name, they were formed in Soweto in 1974, and have played all round the world, including the Oslo gig when Nelson Mandela received the Nobel Peace Prize. This was written by vocalist David Masondo, keyboard star Moses Ngwenya, and guitarist Maxwell Mngadi

Mbaqanga has, on the whole and built into it, perhaps the best bass playing of any genre of popular music. The groove here just does not let go.....
What a perfectly beautiful recording. I never heard it before. You might enjoy a related ->"post":http://mog.com/Spike/blog/166816 from long ago, not traceable by tag until now because poster inepititude.
The bassline is flourescent...great tune.
