Chibuku

Born at the junction between apartheid and democratic South Africa, the bubblegum-disco duo Xitsonga Chibuku embodies the energy of a time of change, when Nelson Mandela was coming out of prison and kwaito was beginning to emerge. Although they did not achieve the notoriety of figures such as Paul Ndlovu or Penny Penny, their only album Maxambe (1992) is now a precious time capsule, a raw disco treasure rediscovered by lovers of forgotten music.
