Mujava - Township Funk



Broadsheets and clueless journos who rely on PRs for discovering new music are going mad for this. Anyone who knows anything about dance or world music will be aware of kwaito, house music from South Africa's townships. What's far more exciting than the patronising, ohmygod Africans make credible dance music reaction, is the fact that this sits very comfortably alongside the sounds coming out of London's funky scene, like Crazy Cousins (see below), Donaeo's African Warrior or Jammer/Badness The Message Is Love.
