LP version. Ubuntu Publishing celebrates the third year of the Soul Safari blog with this great compilation of South African jive/Kwela 78s. All titles on this compilation have been hand-picked from the ILAM Archives (the International Library of African Music), in Grahamstown, South Africa. The tracklisting represents a wide variety of styles from the golden era of jive and Kwela, originally released on 78 shellac discs from small independent record companies. This compilation also features rarities by the big names obviously, but presents mostly obscure material from a long-lost past, music that was popular in the '60s. Recorded from the original 78 rpms and professionally restored/mastered with artwork to match.
