The Shangaans- South African Exotica

Pages: 1 2 replies

Hi Dont know if anyone knows about this LP by the South African band The Shangaans, Most of the lp is standard bland covers(lion sleeps tonight, Swingin safari etc) but it does have 3 great tracks, the first being a killer version of Taboo(almost a hint of spy theme to it) then a decent stab at yellow bird and then a great version of the Ray Barretto latin classic El Watusi,Its available fairly cheap over here on ebay as it got a UK release on the Studio 2 label. Worth checking out!

Yeah..
Their versoin of Taboo is really cool.
I know it from the Tabu! vol.3 Compilation LP.

Tabu! is a great Comp series, you'll like ...
but I think you already know it :wink:

now I'll get me the whole Shangaans album because the other songs.

Yes it is available quite cheap but dont expect too much of most of the tracks! Good luck
