The wonderful days of play-back TV shows... Can't understand how all those great musicians and singers accepted that deal in those days. A great song, though.

@brownebearable

Mahlathini died in 1999 but the Queens are still a bit active, as far as I know. The flute is a "Penny pipe" - a cheap piece of brass with holes - a typical South African Instrument.

[tonnired]

South African tunes are distinct and irresistable!

[GreenmanXIV]

Love Township Jive, Peace and Love, Mubi, Mabone, Thomas Phale, West Nkosi and the MAHOTELLA QUEENS.... Live Long and Prosper.

[zookat]

Excellent! The penny whistle player (also a great sax player) was the late WEST NKOSI, who was the musical director and producer for the band.

[Sunfish42]

We had a big celebration in my german hometown in 1990 to show our solidarity against apartheid in South Africa. We invited Mahlathini a & Mahotella Queens. I remember well the one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[Ayanfe13]

@Sunfish42 very nice

[Sunfish42]

@Ayanfe13 Thanks for your comment. Yes, I am very proud to have been a part of that.

Another story:

1994, exact 1 day later, after Nelson Mandela became president, I arrived in South Africa for the first time in my life. When I went to a music store and asked for Mahlathini & Mahotella Queens, the sellers were very amazed but happy that I know the band. I told them about our organized concert in 1990 and how happy I am to buy the music now in the liberated South Africa. I made new friends ...
