Marabi Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the guidance of talent scout and producer Rupert Bopape, the Makgona Tsohle Band (“The Band That Can Do Anything”) would underpin literally hundreds of recording sessions as the house band of Gallo Africa’s Mavuthela Music subsidiary from its launch in 1964 right through to 1977. This included all of the hit records made by Mahlathini, the Mahotella Queens and so many more artists essential to the sound of urban jive music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts repertoire stretched from traditional sax and accordion jive right through to disco and ‘English pop’, and this 45rpm sees them effortlessly tackling the burgeoning 1970s Soweto soul-jazz sound. Issued only once on a 45rpm single in 1972 - and restored from the original master in Gallo’s Johannesburg tape vault - “Take Your Time” and “Marabi Blues” both offer new insight into the diverse catalogue of this greatest of all mbaqanga bands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umsakazo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41672354398364,"sku":"UM7-501","price":12.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/unnamed_2_3485804c-36e7-48c6-81eb-9a463f2935cf.jpg?v=1654074213","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/makgona-tsohle-band-take-your-time-marabi-blues","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
