For additional information on The Movers visit the flatinternational archive of South African audio. The version posted here is from the 1976 US edition on the Generation label (GEN 3006).ДЇor a Movers discography visit the new flatint blog at flatint.blogspot. Today Electric Jive features this classic album- Bump Jive-first issued in 1975 on TealвЂ™s City Special label (CYL 1030). The extended play became as popular as the вЂњbump jiveвЂќ dance itself and with the introduction of disco, dominated South African jazz and soul music well into the early 80s. (Here I am thinking of Miles DavisвЂ™ Bitches Brew or Pink FloydвЂ™s Echoes.)ДЄfter their success with Mannenburg, Lulu Masilela and the Movers went back into the studio in early 1975 and recorded an even more popular album, Bump Jive, featuring again only two extended jazz-flavoured tracks. Mannenburg, at almost 14 minutes long, took up the whole side of one disc and introduced to South African audiences a type of extended play common to many albums at that time. (1974, City Special, CYL 1029) (1976, Generation, GEN 3007) Ironically David Thekwane, their producer, refused to let them credit the track to Nkosi, but they did have the pleasure of seeing their version completely outsell IbrahimвЂ™s. Amakwaya refers to the tradition and performance practice of choirs in South Africa that emerged from the mission-schools in the nineteenth century and is manifest today in the annual competitions held by various Teachers Associations or company-sponsored events like the National Choir Festival. That same year he approached The Movers and they put together their version of Mannenburg featured on the album Repeat After Me. Thesis (Ph.D.-Music)-University of Natal, 2002. Perhaps out of protest, Masilela wanted to re-record the tune and credit it to Nkosi. For Masilela this South African anthem sounded more like a slowed down version of Zacks NkosiвЂ™s Jackpot recorded at least 10 years prior. In the liner notes of the CD reissue of Ntemi PilisoвЂ™s 70s recordings with the Members, Rob Allingham reveals Lulu MasilelaвЂ™s dismay at first hearing Abdullah IbrahimsвЂ™s (aka Dollar Brand) classic 1974 track Mannenburg. For my first post, I would like to revisit a thread started here in December last year. It will provide factual information on musicians and music genres dating all the way back from the 1940вЂ™s.Thanks to the folks at Electric Jive for inviting me to participate in this fantastic forum. za celebrates the life and times of South AfricaвЂ™s legendary musicians. South Africa is home to numerous internationally celebrated musicians of various genres - jazz legend Hugh Masekela, singing diva Miriam Makeba, hip-hop icons Die Antwoord and Afro-pop singer Brenda Fassie to name a few. The country boasts with legendary musicians and performers that shaped the unique genres of South African music we know and love today. Music was the sound of resistance during the apartheid years that produced anti-apartheid songs, further elucidating the plight of South Africans. South Africa has a rich, vibrant history of music. It allows you to find expression for things that you often canвЂ™t express yourself. It allows people to go into a different space and experience different emotions. Music defines a society and captures the essence that makes a culture extraordinary. Music can be a healing, beautiful noise or it can be a call to justice and revolution.
