Originally released in 1985. Before Paul Simon's Graceland, this album, compiled by South African DJ Trevor Herman, turned the world's attention to South Africa's pop music -- vigorous and vital despite the apartheid oppression of the time. New Music Express described it as "the crucial compilation which cuts to the heart of the music" and Robert Christgau called it the most important record of the 1980s. Includes tracks by Udokotela Shange Namajaha, Nelcy Sedibe, Umahlathini Nabo, Amaswazi Emvelo, Mahlathini & the Makgona Tsohle Band, Moses Mchunu, Nganeziyamfisa No Khambalomvaleliso, Johnson Mkhalali, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
