BioThe Johannesburg Street Band is a South African music ensemble whose name might have been a pseudonym used to evade the oppressive scrutiny of the apartheid regime during the early 1970s. The band included prominent musicians such as Elijah Nkwanyana, Michael Xaba, Johnny Meyer, Raymond Nash, and Hilda Tloubatla. Influential figures like Hugh Masekela and Bongi Makeba made significant contributions to the band's music. Their only album, "Dancin' Through The Streets," released in the early 1970s, is celebrated for its blend of jazz, traditional South African music, and township jive. Tracks like "Ntyilo, Ntyilo" and "Isangoma" showcase the band's musical talent and subtle defiance.
