Yebo baf'wethu! You're at AFROSYNTH, the realest African selection . . .

This week we bring you pre-kwaito trendsetters YMAGE, power-pop from PURE MAGIC, jazz supergroup THE MEMBERS, DEBORAH FRASER's debut solo album and gospel from bubblegum growler SOX.

Last time we checked out Zambia's international disco queen ANNA MWALE, Shangaan girl group THE DALOM KIDS, solid funk from MELVYN MATTHEWS, crooner ZAYN ADAM and jazzman RATAU MIKE MAKHALEMELE.
Also be sure to download the latest mix - WINNER TAKES ALL - a hot soul stew of recent additions to the library.
