Re: African Pop
I've no idea about your record. However it sounds really similar to the music of the Boyoyo Boys (sp?) that inspired Paul Simon to go write and record Graceland with them and other SA musicians. I think the genre is called "mbaquanga".
Good luck in your quest for information. It must be quite obscure for you not to find it in the usual places - I'm sometimes amazed to find information on the web about records that weren't even proper albums, made by bands in the '90s, where only tiny numbers of vinyl were pressed so most folks made do with poor quality cassettes. I guess foreign music probably isn't so well documented.

I'm like Evel Knievel, I get paid for the attempt. I didn't promise this shit would be good!
