Its always a good time to celebrate Sankie Chounyane, Soweto soul-man with a sweet 70s marabi chill. Four languid and laid-back Chounyane tracks showcasing a "jazzy sensibility" backed up by a top-notch but unidentified band.
According to Max
Mojapelo, the original group included Sankie Chounyane, Oupa Hlongwane, Norman
Hlongwane and Sam Thabo, though the lineup would shift throughout the
seventies. Others that performed with the group at various times included Lulu
Masilela, Lucky Mbatha, Blondie Makhene, Philip Malela, Jabu Khanyile, Vusi
Shange, Rammy McKenzie, Jabu Sibumbe, Lloyd Lelosa, Archie Mohlala, Peter
Moteolhe, Thomas Phale, David Thekwane, Dakkie Tau, Robert Mbele, Maxwell
Kubheka and Peter Morake.
Chris,although I do not know you personally you are my main man when it comes to 'forgotten' read out of print music from South.This is again fantastic jazz. As so many times you made my day.This weekend I 'll open a big bottle of beer and a packet of jerk.With this sound i'll think I got a castle in my hand and a nice stick of biltong. Cheers mate.
