Artist bios from the label:

"Sangomas & Maga Bo feat. Teba
Suzan Hendricks' Sangomas are Zulu healers & herbalists from Soweto traditionally called upon to cure illness, social disharmony & spiritual difficulties. Abaphantsi is transformed into a frenzy of pounding percussion & sub-bass by Brazilian producer Maga Bo whilst South African MC Teba delivers a scathing lyrical assault on Western politicians & corrupt governments. How little has sadly changed.

Amampondo with Airto & Square One
Amampondo collaborated with Brazilian percussion maestro Airto Moreira on the "Outernational Meltdown" series in the mid-1990s blending African rhythms with latin, jazz and world music. Manchester producer Mark Wadsworth provides a deep house / baeleric electro makeover, having recorded for a variety of labels including Freerange, Yennah, Super Basic, Toko & After Hours.

Fidel Mpondo & Volver
Fidel Mpondo is a South African musician fusing traditional Xhosa music with Cuban & electronic sounds. Vincent Oliver / Volver creates intricate, warped dance music. Having studied music production & collaborated with close friend Nathan Fake, Volver's unique sound is influenced by Arab Strap, My Bloody Valentine & R. Stevie Moore.

Amampondo & Henrik Schwarz
A veteran of Germany's club scene, Henrik Schwarz is a deep house & classical producer revered by the likes of Gilles Peterson , Jazzanova & Sonar Kollectiv. He builds hypnotic layers of Amampondo's vocals & marimba, adding treated percussion & synths to create a pulsing afro-electro groove.

Busi Mhlongo & Soothsayers
The late, great Busi Mhlongo didn’t simply make music — she transformed it. Rooted in maskandi and Zulu traditions, she fearlessly fused rock, reggae, funk, and jazz, proving that traditional African music could be contemporary, experimental, and unstoppable. Soothsayers are a London based collective who reach far beyond the cliche's of world music, skilfully blending afrobeats, soul, dub & street jazz.

Mantombi Matotiyana & Mark de Clive-Lowe
Mantombi Matotiyana is a renowned South African musician, composer, and master of traditional Xhosa instruments including the umrhubhe musical bow, uhadi, and isitolotolo. Pioneering pianist and live remixer Mark de Clive-Lowe brings a deep-rooted jazz sensibility, building improvised beats, sculpting his sound and flipping melodies in real time.

Mayito & Revbjelde
Cuban bata player Mario Luis Pino / Mayito came to South Africa in 1995 to record with Amampondo on albums such as Madosini & Power To The Women. Under his shape-shifting Revbjelde moniker Alan Gubby adds hi-life guitars, electro bass, organ & additional percussion resulting in a futuristic Afro-Cuban dub.

Amampondo & Spiritual South
South Africa's world renowned marimba masters, Amampondo were founded in the Langa township, Cape Town in 1978. London based producer Mark Robertson / Spiritual South has produced several incredible Brazilian, Afro-beat & jazz-stepping remixes over the last 2 decades for labels such as Raw Fusion, Afro Art, Wah Wah & Gamm"
