15. XOLO HOME BOYS, ISOKA LAMI UMFOKA CHIYA
(My boyfriend is from the family of Chiya) (3’28”)

Joseph Mseleku/Bongani Nhlumayo, (3rd Ear Music), Desk Mix, DM, Marquee, 1993, DAT.

Another KwaZuluNatal style of music that defies description. 24 acapela male voice gospel group. The late Paulus Msimango, then chairman of SA Trad Music Association & the Ladysmith Black Mambazo Music Trust, would select ‘a special’ for Splashy each year. Here they do a secular song from a young lady’s point of view. My boyfriend’s family must know that whether I am awake or asleep I ask him please, don’t leave me.
