a subsc Clints Consider This the Irresistoble Beat of Soweto Tess. 'rcr# PLEASE HELP KEEP SOWETO CLEAN M o ^ h O( SOWETONEVERSLEEPS With all the praise going to PaulSimons homogenized SouthAfrican sound in Grace land, the originators of Zulujivemusic are virtually unkown In the United States. This album helps remedy the situation by featuring popular women's singing groups from the '60s to the present day. The Mahotella Queens formed in '64 and harmonize to a funky, shaky beat. ’Show Them How to Jive" isa soulful girl group sound come true. Added deep basssinging to the basic lineup became the foundation for the Mgaba ba Queens. The incredibly deep voice of Simon Nkabinde and funky rhythm guitar on "Hippies Come to Soweto" make it the most Interesting piece on the album. The Dark City Sisters add a nice ballad ("Outside South Africa’) to create a rounded collection of popular songs from all over Africa. All lyrics are either inZulu or Sotho, but you'll get the idea. You'll also find out where BowWow Wow stole their schtick." to: Lisa McElroy / Option Music Alternative May / June 1987 Clinton s t Sorterfy . ^ r e s . CKCK SSIC
