Next Stop…Soweto Volumes 1 & 2

May 25, 2010, 5:04pm The Passion of the Weiss

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =jWFOLyjqb28 Soweto, the most infamous apartheid stronghold, has received the brunt of attention from crate-diggers panning for gold via the largely unknown outfits that perfected their craft in isolated township halls. Described by "trombonist Jonas Gwangwa as the "soundtrack for knife fights between local and visiting criminal gangs," the bands culled for the Next Stop...Soweto series not only faced guns and steel, but a systematic oppression from an Afrikaner government that in 1963 passed a "separate Amenities Act," prohibiting integration, particularly when liquor was involved. Stripped of the [...]

Fuck the World Cup,

May 21, 2010, 12:00am Impose Magazine: Bytes

The last time I fucked Vampire Weekend, this time I'm thinking on a grander scale. Actually, I'm looking forward to the World Cup, so this post is more ironic. Unless you consider that the second volume of Strut's Next Stop... Soweto series continues their celebration of the Townships from 1969-76. I guess it's reason to raise a finger to the post-apartheid commercialization of South Africa, but that would be a stretch. Even Bono isn't complaining about it. Moving on... For the secon...

Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens - "Umculo...

Apr 20, 2010, 9:22am Tuneage

Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens - "Umculo Kawupheli" Malcolm McLaren, best-known as the manager of the Sex Pistols, passed away recently. Although a fan of his music—1983's Duck Rock is a visionary and enthusiastic work of genre-hopscotching—I can't help but feel ambivalent about his career. Perhaps Tom at It Took Seconds put it best when said the McLaren was "a good businessman but not a good businessman". After the Sex Pistols, he recruited 3/4's of Adam and the Ants to [...]

I can tell right away by their Dutch looks, and by the way they look at me as if they own me, that they are Afrikaners. The two men from South Africa do not seem happy.
