Getting Funky with the Cannibals


Back into the Soweto Soul groove with this 1979 outing Get Funky from Ray Phiri's group The Cannibals. Phiri was to later form the group Stimela and work with Paul Simon on the Gracelands project. The Get Funky LP was recorded soon after untimely death of Jacob Radebe aka Mpharanyana's in 1979. No-one, not even the Cannibals, were quite able to fill the gap left by his passing. Enjoy!

  1. HI Tumo - a big reason we run this blog is that the music is not available elsewhere. As far as I know, this blog is the only place you can download it and listen to a digital version

    2. Help yourself Tumo, there are hundreds of hours of great an out of print available on the blog. Some links (the rapidshare ones) are now expired. The mediafire links work best. IF you find a dead link and want to download it, drop us a note requesting that we re-upload the files. Enjoy
