“Yebo! Rare Mzansi Party Beats from Apartheid's Dying Years’ is an exceptional selection of tracks that highlights the diversity of a scene that was partly created out of the youth needing to continue to party and celebrate whilst under the strangling yoke of the regime but also as a practical response to the difficulties that the musicians were facing as a result of the (nearly) global boycott of the Apartheid government. There was also the availability for the first time of new technology - synthesisers and drum machines - the sound of USA 80’s boogie and soul permeates this album but of course, with those celebrated Mzansi flavours. It’s palpable on this comp how Black SA became the House Nation (nobody consumes and produces house music as voraciously like modern South Africa) - the music here signposts how it developed - there was always a 4/4 rhythm behind so much SA music such as Township Jive and Mbaqanga compared to other African music scenes where polyrhythmic complexities were the roots of the songs.”
