Various - Shangaan Electro: New Wave Dance Music From South Africa

from his small home studio in soweto, nozinja (aka dog) sells more than 50,000 records a year. this is hyper-local music, all of it still considered traditional, all of it marketed through shangaan radio and newspapers to a relatively small set of people who live between johannesburg, limpopo and mozambique. every sunday in soweto groups gather to win the crowd's favour. "you must be prepared to see the fastest dance ever" claims dog as the shangaan electro sound drives the beat up to 180bpm. this music is insane and beginning to set fire to the rest of the world thanks to the wonderful honest jon's. do not miss.
