Ear To The Sound ft Makhalanjalo
Kwaito is music that is shifting and moving along with a new generation of artists who envision not only what it is today, but what it can be in the future.
Makhalanjalo is a performer and artist from Khayelitsha who released his debut single, Thandizito last year. Produced by Insertcoinz, it's a shining example of Kwaito's endurance and continued vibrancy.
Host of the show, Richard Rumney, managed to catch him while he was in Joburg recently as a part of the country-wide, independent Nine Nine tour and get his perspective on the genre and his debut release.
Other music used in the show includes:
Mousse T. - Ooh Song (MidTempo Flex)
The Heavy Dee krew - Westside Steppers Mix
North The Jap - Shiya Bang'phethe
All recording, editing, mixing, mastering and artwork by Richard Rumney.
