Third World/Frontline, TWL(O)543
Producer: JP Lebona
Engineer: S McNamara
Dancefloor grooves from Eric Mbeko, written by Japie 'JP' Lebona (brother of the more famous Koloi Lebona) with the exception of 'Lobola' by Godfrey Nzuza (Talent, Casino). An example of how bubblegum musicians quickly shed American influences to create the distinctive South African rhythms that later gave rise to kwaito. Liner notes pay tribute to Brenda Fassie (the two shared a manager in Peter Snyman), Sipho 'Hotstix' Mabuse and Sipho Gumede. Followed in 1988 by Slow Down.
