Shingwanyana by Xoliso

Hen’s tooth Afrocentric psych outlier from 1974 via the northeast fringe of Pretoria, South Africa. File between Assegai and Batsumi and in reach of the Beaters and Kabasa.

Building on the influence of acclaimed avant-gardists Malombo, Xoliso pushed Mamelodi's nascent Afro-Jazz sound into the domain of Electric Tribal Rock and laced it with vocal chants, brittle fuzz, trippy flute and organ psychedelics.

Fully licensed 2019 vinyl reissue sees the album back in print for the first time in 45 years. Carefully restored from analog master tapes with beautifully reproduced original artwork.

Exalted Mamelodi psych outfit that transformed 1970s Afro-Jazz into Electric Tribal Rock.
