Joshua Sithole's Africa (New LP)

Label: Voom Voom Records

Joshua Sithole (1947–1999) was a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and vocalist from South Africa who first started busking with the Kwela Kids in 1959 and then went solo in 1978. He became popular in the 80’s, performing widely in Durban and Cape Town. Originally released in 1975, this overlooked masterpiece is now reissued for the first time by Voom Voom Records – complete with a poster of Vladimir Tretchikoff’s painting The Penny Whistlers, which captures the spirit and beauty of Joshua’s music.
