There is so much excellent music coming out of southern Africa. Often people ask for ideas on good CDs to take home with them that 'capture' some of the essence of our rainbow people.

African Artists/Bands

Brenda Fasse - (a local legend, taken before her time)

Busi Mhlongo - virtuoso supreme

Freshly Ground - (Oh Yess!!!)

Letta Mbulu - (the First Lady of Jazz)

Mandoza - (the beat'll get ya!)

Soweto String Quartet - great stuff

Yvonne Chaka Chaka - popular by far

Mafikizolo - incredible cross over music!

Hugh Masekela - Jazz icon

Miriam Makeba - Mamma Africa!

Mango Groove - Oldie but goodie

This is a personal list - no particular order: (Would love to hear your suggestions!)
