Hola mpinji! You're at AFROSYNTH, the realest African selection . . .

This month we bring you new school queens FABASI and V-MASH, traditional vibes from PURE GOLD and MTUSENI SIBIYA and co, crossover from WALK THIS WAY, Shangaan grooves from KAYA, an early bubblegum classic by MARGINO and an unknown gem from JERRY GREEN.

Last month it was SHALOM, TOM DOLLAR and LAWRENCE 'SACKEY' GOREOANG, RALPH MARTIN, the original NINJA, the West Nkosi-produced IBIZA, IZIHLABENI and reggae legends JAMBO. We kicked off 2013 with a brand new mix: AFROSYNTH XII: Free At Last, a selection of recent additions to the library. Also don't miss the new 'Best of Afrosynth' compilation from the good people at eFrika. Sharp!

REBECCA - Saturday Nite (1991)

Family/CCP/EMI, FLY(V)554   
Producer: Sizwe Zako   
Engineer: Marvin Moses  


To appeal to as wide an audience as possible, and continuing the successful formula of 1989's Thank You Very Much, side A of Saturday Nite sees Reebs sing her heart out on bubblegum tracks like 'Lazy One' and 'Dlala Mntwana', while side B is more Sunday morning - gospel numbers like those that would bring her greater fame in subsequent years.
