Next Stop Soweto Vol 3: Jazz In South Africa 1963

Next Stop Soweto Vol 3: Jazz In South Africa 1963

Strut conclude their essential three part excursion into the archives of South African music with their third and final volume of the Next Stop...Soweto series.

Volume is a long overdue retrospective of the rich jazz scene happening in South Africa from the early 60 s to mid-80 s. While many major artists lived in exile abroad and furthered their careers globally, many of South Africa s finest jazz players remained, performing under the strict auspices of the Separate Amenities Act.

Next Stop Soweto Vol 3 is the story of the music that survived in South Africa during the mid 60 s to mid 80 s era. The album features many of the recognized South African jazz greats like saxophonist Dudu Pukwana and drummer Early Mabuza, the potent soul jazz grooves of The Heshoo Beshoo Group and The Drive and some of the many artists creating unique fusions like Philip Tabane s Malombo mixing African drums and hand percussion with guitar, vocal and flute.
