: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: The 1980s were an epoch of upheaval and rapid change in South :,
: Africa. The decade began with the countryÆs apartheid government :
:' fighting to maintain its institutionalized racial segregation ':
,: in the face of global protests and demands for the release of :,
: human rights activist Nelson Mandela, who had been jailed since :
:' the early 1960s. By 1990, Mandela was free, and apartheid was ':
,: on the way to being dismantled. On the music front, things were :,
: changing too; At the beginning of the decade, the main music :
:' style of black South Africans was the jazzy indigenous jive of ':
,: mbaqanga, a provincial style that had held its place as the :,
: sound of South Africa since Mandela was first imprisoned. By the :
:' end of the decade, South African music stars were making ':
,: international waves with bubblegum, a flashy variety of :,
: Afro-techno-pop. :
:' ':
,: In SATURDAY NIGHT: SOUTH AFRICAN DISCO POP HITS, Cultures of :,
: Soul explores this period of change, and the intermediary forms :
:' that filled the gap between mbaqanga and bubblegum. The years ':
,: when South African musicians and producers wrestled with the :,
: incursion of foreign disco and formulated their own style of :
:' homegrown disco-pop. ':
,: :,
: Starting from the early 80s, when bands like Varikweru, Black :
:' Five and Soundburger essayed local attempts at boogie and ':
,: jazz-fusion, through experiments like the Madonna-cloned diva :,
: Margino, who domesticized the burgeoning Italo-disco and NYC :
:' electro sounds, up through the massive breakthrough of Brenda ':
,: and the Big Dudes, who arrived at the right mix between native :,
: and international influences to point the way forward for South :
:' African pop. ':
,: :,
: The sound on these records is ostensibly familiar, drawing :
:' heavily on models from the 1980s dance culture in Europe and ':
,: America, but if you listen closely enough you can hear the :,
: distinct South African-ness of it allùfrom the deep, burbling :
:' basslines, the brightly hypnotic melodies, and chant-like ':
,: lyricsùand with sounds as intoxicating as these, you will sure :,
: want to listen closely. And often! :
