Blame the weather. Or maybe the seasonal change and decreasing light. Perhaps it's the desire to occupy something. There are a plethora of reasons that posts have slowed down on this site; today it is -11° as the sun begins to set at mid-afternoon, and I begin to wonder if wood heat is so sensible. Yet never fear, posts are about to resume at our usual pace. Nothing beats a cold, dark winter for generating enthusiasm for hot music!
Today's offering is an upbeat collection of accordion
mbaqanga instrumentals produced by accomplished David Thekwane, one of South Africa's premier
mbaqanga producers. As the notes on the record admit, the musicians and tracks are rather obscure, but they are fine examples of the style. It is a short 25 minutes of sunshine from the 70s.

Thanks for this - keep warm and by all means keep occupying this space and other important ones too
Jolly sounds! I miss the voices but those driving, cyclical rhythms are enough to chase away the fog and the chill. Thanks!
Great album Sir, many thanks. Apurva from Pune, India.
You are each very welcome, and thanks for the warm wishes, C. Thanks, Apurva, for your steady presence here and your frequent praise: yes, I will try to embed youtube videos into my reviews!
