Ezinbateni

"Ezintabeni" is an album with 16 tracks by South African band Awaswazi Emvelo feeled with tales of love, struggle, and ancestral ties. "Induku Zami Zasal' Ekhweni" pulsates with rhythmic storytelling, painting a vivid picture of courtship and cultural challenges. "Ngiyamesaba uMalume" dives deep into family dynamics.

Amaswazi Emvolo, active during the apartheid era, embodied the vibrant musical spirit of Soweto. Their music was characterized by pulsating township jive, featuring a prominent, bouncing bassline and resonant guitars. Originating in the early 1970s, they gained recognition in the Western world through their inclusion in the compilation album "The Indestructible Beat of Soweto," notably with the track "Thul'ulalele." Alongside fellow groups like Abafana Busequdeni, Mahlathini, and the Mahotella Queens, Amaswazi Emvolo is celebrated as a quintessential representation of the golden age of South African pop music.
