Izintombi Zesi Manje Manje: Ujabulisa Abantu (1978)


Quite why it took so long to get around to sharing this album, I cannot explain. Hamilton Nzimande not only produced this warm blend of mbaqanga-soul, he is credited with having composed all the tracks too.

While the backing band is not identified, this slick outfit does sound very much like the Nzimande All Stars to me. Izintombi ZMM (The Now Now Girls) were riding a southern African wave of 'super-group' popularity, with this particular album being pressed in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
