Music from REFORM!

Here is more of what we play at REFORM!

I am working on 1 hour DJ mix for the next post, In the meantime though...

 

Dynamics - Thugs

First time I heard Thugs by The Dynamics was at the Junction. I also got it on a tape I recorded sitting next to the speaker one night with a boombox in a kitbag! 10 years later, I found out who the song was by thanks to a re-issue of the original album by Fresh Music. A few years ago I met Harvey...there was much praise and adoration about the song. There was a great article in the M&G about the song a few weeks ago. Stomping jive/ska with 80s SA social commentary.

 

Sharon Tandy - One way street

Just another great track I should have included in the orginal post

 

Sobabamba - Udokotela shange namajaha

Found this on the INESTRUCTIBLE BEATS OF SOWETO compilation. There are many internationally compiled SA music albums of great quality and rarity. Strut records and Sound Way are doing some amazing work in this area and with music from other north African countries. The Ghana compilation is particularly good
