Recorded in Johannesburg and in France, this jubilant opus displays their velvety voices, their subtle vocal harmonies and their jive. The lyrics of their songs bear witness to the daily reality in the new South Africa: hope for changes, liberties gained at great cost, yet also concern about the ravages of AIDS and the increase in crime and violence.
Released in 2005 on Marabi.

The Mahotella Queens
These wonderful ladies are undoubtedly the Queens of South African urban music. Their style is African Ska or jive music, which sadly is not appreciated by everyone. The guitar style is unique. Mbube (Wimbowe) is the traditional version of the song, My favourite track is Dlhaya Mhunu.
