Danny Mashinini is best known for his album “Georgina” released in 1989. Today’s post features a rare white label promo by the South African singer with two exciting sides of boogie/disco. Not sure if these tracks were ever released or commercially available.
Harari -Kala Harari Rock -Township Soul & Boogie vol 9
Om’Khaoli -Magic Touch 1982 -Township Soul & Boogie Vol 6
hey sista, go sista, soul sista -Township Soul & Boogie
today’s post features a selection of genuine Township Soul & Boogie. Recorded, released and distributed in South Africa and neighbouring countries between 1981 to 1984. All 45’s originally come from the archives of a defunct radio station in Hillbrow, Jo’burg, hence the stickers on the labels. Some of these original records are extremely hard to trace after all these years, especially in the wild. ‘Bushman’ by Steve Kekana is well recommended and one of the better known titles . For me, the discovery of the soulful “Hamba Sibali Wami” by Masike’ Funky’ Mohapi remains one of the highlights of this compilation. Let’s go singing, let’s go dancing! From Cape to Nassau….
Blondie and Pappa -Cape To Nassau

Spankk featuring Blondie -Hallelujah (Praise His Name)
