CD Condition: NM/NM (see grading Guide)

CD Information:

Ayobaness!, the first major collection of South African house, reveals that while the scene is not all cast from Township Funk's starkly minimal, Afro-futuristic mould, it is certainly a regional offshoot with its own distinct character. House first emerged from the streets of Johannesburg in the form of Kwaito, four-to-the-floor rhythms slowed and crossbred with rap and African hip hop. Ayobaness!, however, suggests that South African producers have responded to international attention by cleaning up their sound slightly, building a percussive, distinctly African house hybrid that's nonetheless flexible enough to slot into any internationally-minded DJ's set.Track Listings
