Teaspoon & the Waves. Oh yeh Soweto.

@Sofritosound home of afro-latin bombs! From their first entry in the Sofrito Super Singles series (3 releases to date) – some unknown Afro disco & boogie from South Africa – where Salsoul meets Soweto…

Teaspoon & the Waves – led by veteran alto player Teaspoon Ndelu – released one super rare LP in 1980, covering a mix of disco and funk sounds then popular on South African dancefloors. ‘Oh yeh Soweto’ is a cheeky version of Lamont Dozier’s classic Going back to my roots’ – changing the lyrics and toughening up the beat, but with the same killer riffs!”
