Mahlathini & The Mahotella Queens
Music Inferno
The Indestructible Beat of Soweto shows have long since passed into gig legend. None of those landmark concerts were ever made commercially available. Now, some 30 years later, Umsakazo Records proudly presents Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens' entire 'Indestructible Beat' set of 16 songs, handpicked from a number of different UK venues and all remastered from newly discovered cassette recordings. These were made at the mixing desk by David Barton, a photographer and music fanatic who travelled with the performers as they descended on unsuspecting audiences across the UK. 'Music Inferno: The Indestructible Beat Tour 1988-89' shines the spotlight once more on a truly joyous and frenetic concert experience by one of South Africa's greatest musical exports.
