Another klutzy tourist-shop title hides another fine recording of fresh, punchy music unadulterated by crossover dreams. There's lots of joyously driving accordion/guitar here, and tight organ-driven mbaqanga, and some surging iscathamiya, most of it Zulu but including some groups rarely heard on record, such as the Pondo. In an era with a a real dirth of new South African releases, this is a down-home treat. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music Guide
