Third World / Frontline, TWH5000
A tasty serving of Sotho Soul stew! Hailing from Sebokeng, south of Joburg, the Black Five were a 10-piece group whose vocalists included
Cokes Mokhele and the recently departed Daniel "Nana" Tsietsi Motijoane, later known as Coyote and part of
Stimela.
Highlights on the pre-bubblegum classic include the smooth funk of 'Selallane' and 'Wa Ikgona', the ecstatic gospel of 'Hallelujah' and the famous title track, written by Tsepo "The Village Pope" Tshola (
Sankomota) and later covered by the likes of
Hugh Masekela and
Mara Louw.
