Back with a slight name change. Are there any more where this came from. I have been awaiting the fulfilment of the promise.

Thanks for all you have shared so far.

Hi NickLotay. I love the Mahotella Queens, but I basically like only the music from the 60's and 70's. Only the acoustic, Pre-drum machine/synth music. Do you have anymore like that? Do you know of any good albums like that? I have the album "Marriage is a problem" (which is EXCELLENT) and a "Very best of", which I do not like much, since it's comprised of mainly "newer" stuff. Any song/album suggestions please? Thanks.

Thank you very much for posting these lovely montage of the unsung heroes of African music. Mahothela Queens have lost none of their beauties and nightingale voices. I miss simon Mahlatini very much. Long live Township music Long live South Africa. With Lots of Love from Nigeria your brother nation.
