AAAH.. This was and still is the best the best dance tune from south africa. Shame there are no videos of them around cos they were visually so amazing and their gigs were decadent . Always a special place in my heart !"
Still one of my all time favourites. I was working in a club in Durban one Easter weekend in about '84 and they did a PA about 3 nights running. Still makes me want to get up and wobble about a bit.
@fernando231074 they were brilliant! so original. their performances were like watching a real fantastical show! the way they danced and what they wore. i must get that one album actually. try listen to the song with same name as them: via afrika. itz on youtube
wow how great to find your site!!! I'm an ex-pat and left for Oz years ago but am now based in the mideast. I have been so desperate for SA music that I have been repeatedly listening to snatched clip pieces from SA Rock Classics where you can only hear parts of songs. Please , please upload more.
YEE HAAAAA @ last !!!! This reminds me of my time @ C.T.C Durnacol . Big guy that stayed in the next room played this all the time . Great memories & GREAT TIMES

This used to be one of my favourite songs in the 80's. I just didn't know it was a south african band.
