Various - Township Jive & Kwela Jazz Volume 3 (1960-1965) flac album

These pearls of musical genius were recorded in the glory years of jive and kwela, the years 1940-1965. On side A it is not difficult to recognise the similarities to American popular music like R&B and small combo close harmony singing. But most of all notice that typical South African swing, that jive, that incredible smooth form of African jazz on side B; Kwela! The rarest and most treasured finds are collected here, some with the original spoken intro’s, ‘sketches’ as these were called
