Former Kabasa frontman Tata Sibeko dropped It’s A Mess in 1985, addressing the world’s Cold War climate with an appeal to learn to love each other and save ourselves from catastrophe. The B-side Afro Breakdance marked the evolution of Tata’s Afro-global sensibilities from Afro Funkin’ that had appeared five years earlier on Kabasa’s self-titled debut in 1980. Tata Sibeko (RIP) passed away in 2017 after approving the restoration and reissue of this single. This release is dedicated to his kindness, charm and creative zeal.
