The Indestructible Beat of Soweto, Vol. 1

by INDESTURCTABLE BEAT OF SOWETO

Overview

This anthology of South African artists surprised everyone by becoming a best-seller. It introduced worldbeatniks to Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mahlathini, and Moses Mchunu and paved the way for Paul Simon's Graceland. Winner of The Village Voice's Jazz and Pop Poll for Best Record of 1987, it's an essential sampler of modern African styling, a revelation and a joy. ~ J. Poet & Hank Davi
