AFRICA IS A COUNTRY

MUSIC BREAK / THE MAHOTELLA QUEENS

November 2, 2009 · 5 Comments

Rare piece of film footage of The Mahotella Queens (without Mahlatini this time) recording their hit “Umculo Kawupheli” circa 1974. [The song was released on the albums, "Duck Food" and "Soweto Never Sleeps--Classic Female Zulu Jive"].

Also great footage of 1970s black South African urban life (recording studios, musicians, record stores, fashion, etc).
