Abacothozi

Thema Maboneng

Abacothozi were formed in 1973 by bassist Berthwel Maphumulo, formerly of the Elite Swingsters. Together with Mac Mathunjwa on organ, his brother Innocent Mathunjwa on drums, and Joe Zikhali on guitar, they recorded at least two albums: 'Thema Maboneng,' released in 1975 and 'Night In Pelican,' released in 1976 (reissued on the Matsuli Music compilation 'Night In Pelican'). These six sizzling tracks were originally recorded by West Nkosi for the Mavuthela label. Released without fanfare and then forgotten, they remained totally unknown to DJs and clubgoers for over 40 years.
