Yes, it’s the age of South African House, Afrobeats, Afro R&B and the likes, but roots music lives on in South Africa. This show updates the Zulu pop music known as maskanda, with a look back at its history and a survey of the current scene--rich musically, but troubled by fan rivalry that can lead to violence and even deaths. We’ll hear nimble ukapika guitar playing, heavy Zulu beats and bracing vocal harmonies. We’ll meet maskanda legend Phuzekhemisi and veteran South African radio broadcaster Bhodloza “Welcome” Nzimande, long a champion of maskanda music and a would-be peacekeeper in the fractious current scene. We’ll also hear from Zulu guitar legend Madala Kunene, and check out some of the recent gqom music that has largely replaced maskanda and other roots styles in the lives of young South Africans. Produced by Banning Eyre.

A special focus on one of the most intense, beautiful, fascinating, trippy, glorious, aristocratic and bat shit crazy music scenes that ever graced our ears: Jùjú.

1980’s Lagos is the Mecca.

King Sunny Ade, Sir Shina Peters, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, Admiral Dele Abiodun and a bunch of others luminaries are the stars.

And when we say stars, we are talking Led Zeppelin, Hendrix or James Brown level of fame and adoration... Even next level. Those guys are royalty, literally and constantly covered in bank notes by their fans night after night, till the sun is out. The songs on records last half an hour, sometimes more. The bands are 20, 30 people deep. The live shows are endless. The style is pristine. The skills are unmatched. The transe is godly.

This is celebration art, with substance, respect of tradition and still an incredibly modern attitude towards instruments, songwriting and performance. This is Pop music at its finest. This is Jújù.
