You can’t go wrong with a Putumayo compilation, and you can’t go wrong with the music of South Africa. Combine the two and you’ve got a delicious blend of jazz, gospel, soul, and just plain old kick-ass great music. Every track gets a star. Play it all. 1. Midtempo soul jazz w/hip organ & vocals. 2. Sweet, warm vocals in a relaxed Afro soul/funk sway. Cool. 3. Light mbira and rich chorus back husky fem vocals. Midtempo. 4. Blend of hip hop and Afro pop in English & Xhosa. Relaxed. 5. Relaxed reggae guitar and light male vox. Folksy head-nodder. 6. Bright & joyful African jazz w/sax & guitar. Midtempo. 7. Sexy retro (from the 50s) girl group jazz. Midtempo & sassy. 8. Sweet female vocals, relaxed guitar, sort of soukous light. 9. Warm male vocals in Afrikaans. Midtempo guitar plus chorus. 10. Bilingual reggae (English & Xhosa) mid/upbeat. 11. Upbeat contemporary SA pop w/cool vocals. 12. Classic SA gospel sound. A capella, slow, stunning! | ||
