International Pop/Rock R&B. Next Stop Soweto, Vol. 4: Zulu Rock, Afro-Disco and Mbaqanga 1975-1985.

The Drive - Ain't Sittin' Down Doin' Nothing Strut’s acclaimed series of South African music stops in at 1975 to 1985 when the township jive, mbaqanga sound had begun to embrace soul and post-punk and a slew of rock bands following the huge success of homegrown heroes Harari. Hidden classics from The Movers, Elias Maluleke, Kabasa and many more.

For those interested in the development of black South African music during the height of the oppressive apartheid regime, Strut's excellent Next Stop Soweto series has always been essential listening. This fourth instalment is, unsurprisingly, another cracker, and is once again packed with high-grade material that perfectly showcases some of the best hybrids of Western rock, soul funk and disco with indigenous South African styles.

Strut’s acclaimed series of South African music stops in at 1975 to 1985 when the township jive, mbaqanga sound had begun to embrace soul and post-punk and a slew of rock bands following the huge success of homegrown heroes Harari. Various Artists - Kabasa - Unga Pfula A Chi Pfalo.

Perhaps 10 volumes from now, they’ll complete the trick. The first three sets focused, respectively, on mbaqanga and other township sounds, psychedelia and soul, and jazz. This one picks up most clearly where Vol. 2 left off, following the march of underground psych and soul into the disco era. In the process, it gives us a glimpse at the South Africa that grooved under apartheid’s heel; there aren’t attention-grabbing headlines in it, but people find a way to live and have a good time in even the most oppressive circumstances  . Nevertheless, Next Stop Soweto Vol. 4 is another well-assembled look at lesser-known music from a very complicated time and place.
