For those interested in the development
of black South African music during the
height of the oppressive apartheid
regime, Strut's excellent Next Stop
Soweto series has always been essential
listening. This fourth instalment is,
unsurprisingly, another cracker, and is
once again packed with high-grade
material that perfectly showcases some
of the best hybrids of Western rock,
soul funk and disco with indigenous
South African styles. Highlights are
plentiful, and include the riotous
dancefloor madness of The Movers'
"Soweto Disco", the synthesizer-heavy
wooziness of TY Boys, Xoliso's chunky
stoner funk-rock, and the anthem-like,
slap bass-propelled brilliance of
Harari's "Give".
