Junk funk

"Sotho Sounds are a group of shepherds from the mountains who play their own hand-made instruments: four-string tin guitars, metal one-string fiddles and oil-can drums, plus rattles, and a varirty of tremendous vocal styles ... Conversational, infectious, the music hangs on wonderful rubbery riffs and a general sense of jaunty and robust good rhythm. It's their own music, drawing on South African pop, isacathamiya (echoes of the Soul Brothers, for instance) and local traditions, full of happy subtleties. Recorded in London, this is their first album, though they have played all around the world with Womad".
