A great performance of Dollar Brand that captures the soul of South Africa
The track composition fuses jazz and Afrobeat, giving a sense of connection with South African/African music of the time.
The title track, "Soweto," spans 17 minutes, painting a rich, nuanced shadow with its slow groove, piano, and horn intertwining. The following tracks, "African Herbs" and "Sathima," also combine African moods with modal jazz, creating masterpieces that still radiate heat today despite their 1970s feel.
