NEW ALBUM: Africa Express "egoli" - CRAZY-HORSE - 19-07-2019 Spotify listen: from South Africa... a collaborative group... experimental, creating a fusion of traditional sounds with Western sounds... as a comparison I would use Will.I.Am, Snap!... think of Malcom McLaren with his fusion of various things back in the 1980s... lots of guest musicians on this one including one name I am familiar with, Damon Albarn... its probably not something I would buy but it was a refreshing listen to hear something unique (oops, unique is the wrong word, I mean different) from the album: Africa To The World   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT0_5vYR3vk I Cant Move  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd1G3lwUtfY RE: NEW ALBUM: Africa Express "egoli" - Ruby - 19-07-2019 I've been meaning to give this a whirl, but I'm not really into South African traditional music so had hesitated. Gave it a try but had to skip through the tracks - not my thing. Only one song I wanted to listen to all the way through - with Zolani Mahola (from Freshly Ground) ...  Btw - for interest, eGoli is Zulu for Place of Gold, and also a nickname for Johannesburg ... where a whole lot of it comes from. I see this album was recorded in Jo'burg, or Jozi as it's lately become known!
